Read #1
Yoakum County · Brahaney Northwest (Devonian) field · Vertical
Read #1 (API 42-501-32957) is a well in Yoakum County operated by Extex Operating Company, completed April 18, 1987.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1985 and 1997, permitted to 12,250 ft.
It was permitted by Anadarko Petroleum Corp. and has since transferred to Extex Operating Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 8 formation tops, including Yates, San Andres, Glorieta, Tubb.
Its 2 leases have reported 555K barrels of oil and 75.7K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 8 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
It holds an active disposal or injection permit.
