Miss Ela K #1
Irion County · Spraberry (Trend Area) field · Vertical
Miss Ela K #1 (API 42-235-31155) is a plugged well in Irion County, plugged June 8, 2016, last operated by Apache Corporation.
The RRC has issued 3 drilling permits between 1977 and 2002, permitted to 8,100 ft.
It was permitted by Anadarko Petroleum Corp. and has since transferred to Apache Corporation on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 5 formation tops, including Anhy & Salt, Anhy & Lime, Clear Fork, Spraberry.
Its 3 leases have reported 3.25K barrels of oil and 125K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in September 2016. The leases carry 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
