Glasscock County · Spraberry (Trend Area) field · Producing · Vertical
Ballenger #1 (API 42-173-33616) is a well in Glasscock County operated by Apache Corporation, completed August 14, 2010 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued February 8, 2010, permitted to 10,500 ft.
It was permitted by Mariner Energy, Inc. and has since transferred to Apache Corporation on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including Wolfcamp, Cline, Strawn, Atoka.
Its lease has reported 3.01M barrels of oil and 18.6M mcf of gas since June 2010, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 53 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

Well logs
1 log loaded from the RRC's log index, the latest received Jul 25, 2013. 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.
