Denton County · Newark East (Barnett Shale) field · Producing · Horizontal
Mcmurrey Ranch #18H (API 42-121-33527) is a horizontal well in Denton County operated by Lime Rock Resources IV-A L.P., completed August 22, 2008 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule, shut in August 1, 2026.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued July 23, 2008, permitted to 8,623 ft.
It was permitted by Encana Oil & Gas(USA) Inc. and has since transferred to Lime Rock Resources IV-A L.P. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 2 formation tops, including Marble Falls, Barnett.
Its 2 leases have reported 81.9K barrels of oil and 2.91M mcf of gas since May 2008, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
