Chapin #1 (API 42-501-35949) is a well in Yoakum County operated by Sixess Energy LLC, completed October 6, 2012.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued May 14, 2012, permitted to 12,500 ft.
It was permitted by Browning Oil Company, Inc. and has since transferred to Sixess Energy LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Its lease has reported 1.95K barrels of oil and 840 mcf of gas since October 2012, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
