Pecos County · Priest & Beavers (Queen) field · Water Supply · Vertical
Priest & Beavers Unit #1WS (API 42-371-00553) is a well in Pecos County operated by New Height Energy LLC, completed May 10, 2006 and listed as water supply on the RRC schedule, shut in February 1, 2026.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued July 29, 2005, permitted to 10,260 ft.
It was permitted by BC Operating, Inc. and has since transferred to New Height Energy LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including Yates, Clear Fork, Wolfcamp, Ellenburger.
Its 2 leases have reported 1.49M barrels of oil and 5.35K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 52 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
