FORMATIONS · RRC WELLBORE FILE

Salado

Reported as a top in 1,999 wells across 28 counties, at a median depth of 1,485 ft (653 to 2,178 ft in most wells). 191 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 →
