Cave 9s #1 (API 42-317-35427) is a plugged well in Martin County, plugged July 20, 2022, last operated by Diamondback E&P LLC.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 2008 and 2013, permitted to 12,000 ft.
It was permitted by Endeavor Energy Resources L.P. and has since transferred to Diamondback E&P LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 7 formation tops, including Clear Fork, Spraberry, Dean, Wolfcamp.
Its lease has reported 47.8K barrels of oil and 24.7K mcf of gas since January 2009, last reporting volume in August 2026. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

Surface location
No coordinates on the permit record yet. The RRC's GIS record usually lands within days of issuance; historical master-file permits never carry one.
Wells nearby
Every well with a location on file around this well, in any state, nearest first.
Texas locations come from drilling permits, so most older Texas wells have none and are not listed.

"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.
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.
