Cowden E. W. #3WS (API 42-495-32294) is a well in Winkler County operated by Heifer Production Company LLC, completed December 5, 1989 and listed as water supply on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued October 27, 1989, permitted to 250 ft.
It was permitted by Thomas, J. C. and has since transferred to Heifer Production Company LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 412K barrels of oil and 570K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 53 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
