FORMATIONS · RRC WELLBORE FILE

Duffer

Reported as a top in 2,587 wells across 19 counties, at a median depth of 3,850 ft (3,110 to 4,171 ft in most wells). 4 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 →
