Watson J.E. A #1 (API 42-431-30882) is a well in Sterling County operated by Anadarko E&P Company LP, completed July 16, 1993.
The RRC has issued 3 drilling permits between 1980 and 2002, permitted to 8,800 ft.
It was permitted by Rme Petroleum Company and has since transferred to Anadarko E&P Company LP on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 8 formation tops, including Yates, San Andres, Leonard, Wichita-Albany.
Its 4 leases have reported 17.9K barrels of oil and 339K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
