Barrera Unit #8
Hidalgo County · McMoran (8960) field · Temp Abandoned · Vertical
Barrera Unit #8 (API 42-215-33649) is a well in Hidalgo County operated by Hilcorp Energy Company, completed July 29, 2009 and listed as temp abandoned on the RRC schedule, shut in December 1, 2017.
The RRC has issued 3 drilling permits (amended once) between 2007 and 2009, permitted to 9,830 ft.
It was permitted by Chesapeake Operating, Inc. and has since transferred to Hilcorp Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 2 formation tops, including Frio, Vicksburg.
Its 3 leases have reported 18.7K barrels of oil and 1.13M mcf of gas since July 2007, with no volume in the three years through April 2026. The leases carry 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

Well logs
2 logs loaded from the RRC's log index, the latest received Feb 5, 2018. Density, Neutron, 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.
