Shut in

Hidalgo County · Jeffress E. (Vicksburg L) field · SWR-10-Well · Vertical

Deatrick #6 (API 42-215-33031) is a well in Hidalgo County operated by Varas Energy Operating Company, completed December 4, 2002 and listed as swr-10-well on the RRC schedule, shut in August 1, 2022.

The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued November 5, 2002, permitted to 10,015 ft.

It was permitted by El Paso Production Oil & Gas CO. and has since transferred to Varas Energy Operating Company on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including "L" Sand, L Sd, "O" Sand, O Sd.

Its 2 leases have reported 16.1K barrels of oil and 1.22M mcf of gas since December 2002, with no volume in the three years through April 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
