Cmww A #4401H (API 42-127-33883) is a horizontal well in Dimmit County operated by Protege Energy Iii LLC, completed March 17, 2011 and listed as temp abandoned on the RRC schedule, shut in July 1, 2025.

The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued January 31, 2011, permitted to 6,861 ft.

It was permitted by Newfield Exploration Company and has since transferred to Protege Energy Iii LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Anacacho, Austin Chalk, Eagle Ford.

Its 2 leases have reported 1.16M barrels of oil and 4.69M mcf of gas since August 2010, last reporting volume in April 2026. The leases carry 15 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

The sources disagree, which usually means a transfer or a lease-level production filing by a different entity. Petrora goes with the schedule.

Well logs

1 log loaded from the RRC's log index, the latest received Feb 12, 2014. 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.
