Shortes L. O. #1 (API 42-317-33724) is a well in Martin County operated by Deep Blue Operating I LLC, completed October 21, 2024 and listed as injection on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued June 26, 1990, permitted to 10,870 ft.
It was permitted by Amerada Hess Corporation and has since transferred to Deep Blue Operating I LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 9 formation tops, including San Andres, Wolfcamp, Pennsylvanian, Canyon.
Its lease has reported 95.7K barrels of oil and 741 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
It holds an active disposal or injection permit, with 545K barrels injected in the 12 months reported through February 2026.
