Gaines County · Dempsey Creek (San Andres) field · Producing · Horizontal
TM Dempsey 28-08 #2H (API 42-165-38537) is a horizontal well in Gaines County operated by Crescent Energy Operating LLC, completed October 21, 2022 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued February 27, 2017, permitted to 4,613 ft.
It was permitted by Sheridan Production Company, LLC and has since transferred to Crescent Energy Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 10 formation tops, including Yates, Seven Rivers, Queen, San Andres.
Its lease has reported 101K barrels of oil and 324K mcf of gas since June 2016, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

Well logs
1 log loaded from the RRC's log index, the latest received Feb 25, 2020. Gamma ray. 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.
