Martin County · Spraberry (Trend Area) field · Producing · Horizontal
Wolcott 253 #2H (API 42-317-39527) is a horizontal well in Martin County operated by Ovintiv USA Inc., completed December 24, 2014 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued June 12, 2014, permitted to 8,987 ft.
It was permitted by Diamondback E&P LLC and has since transferred to Ovintiv USA Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 10 formation tops, including Santa Rosa, Yates, Queen, Grayburg.
Its lease has reported 441K barrels of oil and 275K mcf of gas since September 2011, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 7 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
