Exxon Cowden B #2
Upton County · Spraberry (Trend Area) field · Shut In · Vertical
Exxon Cowden B #2 (API 42-461-31765) is a well in Upton County operated by Apache Corporation, completed November 18, 1981 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule, shut in August 1, 2026.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued April 24, 1981, permitted to 9,020 ft.
It was permitted by Tamarack Petroleum Company, Inc. and has since transferred to Apache Corporation on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 198K barrels of oil and 752K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
