Walnut

Reported as a top in 37 wells across 7 counties, at a median depth of 4,312 ft (399 to 4,892 ft in most wells). 0 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 →
