Martin County · Spraberry (Trend Area) field · Shut In · Vertical
Wilbanks 15 #1501 (API 42-317-35603) is a well in Martin County operated by Diamondback E&P LLC, completed July 15, 2009 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule, shut in October 1, 2024.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued April 28, 2009, permitted to 10,860 ft.
It was permitted by Cobra Oil & Gas Corporation and has since transferred to Diamondback E&P LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 5 formation tops, including Clear Fork, B/Clearfork, Spraberry, Deep.
Its 2 leases have reported 507K barrels of oil and 1.09M mcf of gas since September 2008, last reporting volume in April 2026. The leases carry 17 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

Well logs
1 log loaded from the RRC's log index, the latest received Jun 25, 2012. Density, Neutron. 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.
