Ross 40 #6 (API 42-461-36930) is a well in Upton County operated by Diamondback E&P LLC, completed February 29, 2012 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued September 13, 2010, permitted to 11,100 ft.
It was permitted by Apache Corporation and has since transferred to Diamondback E&P LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Spraberry, Wolfcamp, Strawn.
Its lease has reported 329K barrels of oil and 492K mcf of gas since October 2008, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 8 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
