FORMATIONS · RRC WELLBORE FILE
Clear Fork
Reported as a top in 56,000 wells across 62 counties, at a median depth of 5,596 ft (2,690 to 6,959 ft in most wells). 5,038 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 →
