Moro Creek #2101H (API 42-127-35710) is a horizontal well in Dimmit County operated by Protege Energy Iii LLC, completed November 2, 2013 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued August 1, 2013, permitted to 6,795 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 lease has reported 4.24M barrels of oil and 17.4M mcf of gas since March 2011, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 32 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
