Ector County · Sallie Ann (Spraberry-Wolfcamp) field · Shut In · Vertical
Frances #6 (API 42-135-40394) is a well in Ector County operated by Diamondback E&P LLC, completed October 28, 2011 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule, shut in January 1, 2022.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued July 27, 2010, permitted to 10,362 ft.
It was permitted by Oxy USA Inc. and has since transferred to Diamondback E&P LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Spraberry, Wolfcamp, Lwr Wolfcamp.
Its lease has reported 346K barrels of oil and 804K mcf of gas since September 2009, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 17 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

Well logs
1 log loaded from the RRC's log index, the latest received Oct 16, 2018. 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.
