Crane County · McElroy field · Shut In · Vertical
North Mcelroy Unit #4728F (API 42-103-34781) is a well in Crane County operated by Kinder Morgan Production CO LLC, completed March 28, 2001 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule, shut in September 1, 2025.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued November 17, 2000, permitted to 3,200 ft.
It was permitted by Apache Corporation and has since transferred to Kinder Morgan Production CO LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including Rustler, Yates, Queen, Grayburg.
Its lease has reported 31.8M barrels of oil and 5.91M mcf of gas since the record begins in January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 1,177 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

Surface location
No coordinates on the permit record yet. The RRC's GIS record usually lands within days of issuance; historical master-file permits never carry one.

Every well with a location on file around this well, in any state, nearest first.
Texas locations come from drilling permits, so most older Texas wells have none and are not listed.

Well logs
2 logs loaded from the RRC's log index, the latest received May 8, 2002. Density, Neutron, Resistivity. These are the logs loaded into Petrora from the Railroad Commission's inventories, not necessarily every log run on the well. The RRC holds the files; each opens from its log search for the well. The kind is the RRC's description of the log; the interval is the one filed for it.

"Spans" is by this well's own filed formation tops: a formation runs from its top to the next deeper top filed, and the deepest runs to the bottom of the log. Depths are measured along the wellbore, so on a horizontal the lateral counts in the formation it was landed in.
