Mitchell #5H
Denton County · Newark East (Barnett Shale) field · Producing · Horizontal
Mitchell #5H (API 42-121-33223) is a horizontal well in Denton County operated by Bkv Barnett LLC, completed May 13, 2008 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued October 10, 2007, permitted to 7,501 ft.
It was permitted by Devon Energy Production CO, L.P. and has since transferred to Bkv Barnett LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Marble Falls, Barnett, Forestberg.
Its 2 leases have reported 1.29M mcf of gas since December 2007, last reporting volume in August 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

Well logs
1 log loaded from the RRC's log index, the latest received Jan 11, 2011. Density, Neutron. 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.
