Covington Ella B #18 (API 42-445-31986) is a well in Terry County operated by Highmark Energy Operating LLC, completed February 13, 2023 and listed as injection on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued July 29, 2002, permitted to 8,500 ft.
It was permitted by Xto Energy Inc. and has since transferred to Highmark Energy Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 6 formation tops, including Rustler, San Andres, T. Glorieta, T. Clearfork.
Its lease has reported 507K barrels of oil and 134K mcf of gas since July 2003, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 8 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
It holds an active disposal or injection permit, with 385K barrels injected in the 12 months reported through November 2025.
