Elk #1
Andrews County · Shafter Lake N. (San Andres) field · Vertical
Elk #1 (API 42-003-34357) is a well in Andrews County operated by Brockman Gerald & Assoc. Inc., completed June 13, 1985.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1984 and 2015, permitted to 5,000 ft.
It was permitted by Sheridan Production Company, LLC and has since transferred to Brockman Gerald & Assoc. Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including San Andres.
Its 2 leases have reported 94.5K barrels of oil and 51.5K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 5 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
