Powell 29 #1
Upton County · Spraberry (Trend Area) field · Shut In · Vertical
Powell 29 #1 (API 42-461-31844) is a well in Upton County operated by Ovintiv USA Inc., completed February 18, 1982 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule, shut in February 1, 2021.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued November 30, 1981, permitted to 9,350 ft.
It was permitted by Cox, John L. and has since transferred to Ovintiv USA Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 211K barrels of oil and 455K mcf of gas since the record begins in January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

Surface location
No coordinates on the permit record yet. The RRC's GIS record usually lands within days of issuance; historical master-file permits never carry one.
Wells nearby
Every well with a location on file around this well, in any state, nearest first.
Texas locations come from drilling permits, so most older Texas wells have none and are not listed.
