Cantu a BPX #9H
De Witt County · Eagleville (Eagle Ford-2) field · Producing · Horizontal
Cantu A Bpx #9H (API 42-123-33888) is a horizontal well in De Witt County operated by Bpx Operating Company, completed November 23, 2015 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued November 13, 2014, permitted to 12,813 ft.
It was permitted by Bhp Billiton Pet(Txla OP) CO and has since transferred to Bpx Operating Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 8 formation tops, including Frio, Vicksburg, Yegua, Wilcox.
Its 2 leases have reported 5.81M barrels of oil and 15.5M mcf of gas since October 2011, last reporting volume in April 2026. The leases carry 25 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 8, 2018. 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.
