Armstrong 48 #7 (API 42-329-34114) is a plugged well in Midland County, plugged June 5, 2024, last operated by Apache Corporation.

The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued August 10, 1998, permitted to 10,200 ft.

It was permitted by Arco Permian and has since transferred to Apache Corporation on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including Clear Fork, Spraberry, Dean, Wolfcamp.

Its lease has reported 467K barrels of oil and 818K mcf of gas since March 1997, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 10 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

The sources disagree, which usually means a transfer or a lease-level production filing by a different entity. Petrora goes with the schedule.
