Avary #12
Ward County · Rhoda Walker (Canyon 5900) field · Vertical
Avary #12 (API 42-475-31639) is a plugged well in Ward County, plugged August 31, 2023, last operated by Apache Corporation.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued October 13, 1977, permitted to 6,800 ft.
It was permitted by Williams, Clayton W., JR. and has since transferred to Apache Corporation on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 2 formation tops, including Delaware, Cherry Canyon.
Its lease has reported 206K barrels of oil and 1.21M mcf of gas since the record begins in January 1993, with no volume in the three years through August 2026. The lease carries 16 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

Permitted by Williams, Clayton W., Jr.; the EWA schedule now lists a different operator.

Texas locations come from drilling permits, so most older Texas wells have none and are not listed.
