Wharton County · Magnet Withers field · Shut In · Vertical
Cockburn H. C. #173 (API 42-481-35254) is a well in Wharton County operated by Orx Resources L.L.C., completed December 1, 2012 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule, shut in September 1, 2024.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits (amended once) in 2012, permitted to 6,295 ft.
It was permitted by Milagro Exploration, LLC and has since transferred to Orx Resources L.L.C. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Maarg 1, Marg, Frio.
Its 2 leases have reported 6.99M barrels of oil and 6.32M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 164 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
