WELL · 42-335-31192 · DISTRICT 8
Bell #18
Mitchell County · Iatan East Howard field · Shut IN · Vertical
Bell #18 (API 42-335-31192) is a well in Mitchell County operated by Extex Operating Company, completed September 29, 1977 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued August 1, 1977, permitted to 3,300 ft.
It was permitted by Mabee Petroleum Corp. and has since transferred to Extex Operating Company on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 101K barrels of oil and 675 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 18 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
