Covington Ella B #20 (API 42-445-32436) is a well in Terry County operated by Highmark Energy Operating LLC, completed February 8, 2017 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended twice), issued August 22, 2016, permitted to 8,700 ft.
It was permitted by Xto Energy Inc. and has since transferred to Highmark Energy Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 10 formation tops, including Yates, San Andres, Glorieta, Clear Fork.
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.
