Cowden 30 #9 (API 42-329-35960) is a well in Midland County operated by Ovintiv USA Inc., completed September 30, 2017 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule, shut in April 1, 2016.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued June 17, 2008, permitted to 10,265 ft.
It was permitted by Forest Oil Corporation and has since transferred to Ovintiv USA Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 8 formation tops, including Rustler, Yates, Grayburg, Clear Fork.
Its lease has reported 534K barrels of oil and 1.99M mcf of gas since February 1998, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 16 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

Well logs
1 log loaded from the RRC's log index, the latest received Sep 18, 2009. Density, Neutron. These are the logs loaded into Petrora from the Railroad Commission's inventories, not necessarily every log run on the well. The RRC holds the files; each opens from its log search for the well. The kind is the RRC's description of the log; the interval is the one filed for it.

"Spans" is by this well's own filed formation tops: a formation runs from its top to the next deeper top filed, and the deepest runs to the bottom of the log. Depths are measured along the wellbore, so on a horizontal the lateral counts in the formation it was landed in.
