Bennett Ranch Unit #2406 (API 42-501-32365) is a horizontal well in Yoakum County operated by Occidental Permian Ltd., completed September 15, 1984.

The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1983 and 1995, permitted to 5,800 ft.

It was permitted by Shell Frontier Oil & Gas Inc. and has since transferred to Occidental Permian Ltd. on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report one formation top, including San Andres.

Its lease has reported 50.3M barrels of oil and 51.5M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 607 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

The sources disagree, which usually means a transfer or a lease-level production filing by a different entity. Petrora goes with the schedule.
