Bell Canyon

Reported as a top in 11,281 wells across 8 counties, at a median depth of 4,571 ft (3,022 to 5,206 ft in most wells). 1,496 of those wells were permitted in the last three years.

A well counts if any of its completion filings report this formation, whether it produces from it or drilled through it. Depths are measured depth as filed; typo depths exist, which is why ranges are percentiles, not extremes. About completion reports →
