Mitchell 45 #1
Loving County · Haley (Lwr. Wolfcamp-Penn Cons.) field · Partial Plug · Vertical
Mitchell 45 #1 (API 42-301-31217) is a well in Loving County operated by Wpx Energy Permian LLC, completed November 21, 2005 and listed as partial plug on the RRC schedule, shut in January 1, 2014.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 2005 and 2011, permitted to 17,675 ft.
It was permitted by Chesapeake Operating, Inc. and has since transferred to Wpx Energy Permian LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including Wolfcamp, Strawn, Atoka, Morrow.
Its 2 leases have reported 25.8K barrels of oil and 309K mcf of gas since November 2005, with no volume in the three years through April 2026. The leases carry 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 Oct 29, 2008. 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.
