Vicksburg
Reported as a top in 7,306 wells across 48 counties, at a median depth of 5,105 ft (1,367 to 9,372 ft in most wells). 218 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 →
