FORMATIONS · RRC WELLBORE FILE

Saddle Creek

Reported as a top in 2,672 wells across 32 counties, at a median depth of 1,845 ft (1,000 to 3,780 ft in most wells). 117 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 →
