Ector County · Sallie Ann (Spraberry-Wolfcamp) field · Shut IN · Horizontal
Mary Ellen #17H (API 42-135-42149) is a horizontal well in Ector County operated by Diamondback E&P LLC, completed February 8, 2018 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended twice), issued December 14, 2012, permitted to 10,000 ft.
It was permitted by Devon Energy Production CO, L.P. and has since transferred to Diamondback E&P LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 11 formation tops, including Spraberry, Abo, Dean, Middle.
Its lease has reported 1.47M barrels of oil and 4.14M mcf of gas since October 2007, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 18 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
