Midland County · Spraberry (Trend Area) field · Shut In · Vertical
Davidson 42a #1 (API 42-329-33948) is a well in Midland County operated by Ovintiv USA Inc., completed February 19, 1998 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule, shut in February 1, 2025.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1997 and 1998, permitted to 10,093 ft.
It was permitted by Arco Permian and has since transferred to Ovintiv USA Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including Clear Fork, Spraberry, Dean, Wolflcamp.
Its 2 leases have reported 227K barrels of oil and 604K mcf of gas since February 1998, last reporting volume in April 2026. The leases carry 6 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
