Bennett Ranch Unit #160A (API 42-501-32844) is a well in Yoakum County operated by Occidental Permian Ltd., completed July 8, 1985.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued April 24, 1985, permitted to 5,500 ft.
It was permitted by Sun Expl. & Prod. CO.-Midland and has since transferred to Occidental Permian Ltd. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 8 formation tops, including Rustler, Queen, San Andres, Zone I.
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.
It holds an active disposal or injection permit, with 46.2K barrels injected in the 12 months reported through September 2025.
