Babb -30- #12 (API 42-329-37106) is a plugged well in Midland County, plugged November 29, 2023, last operated by Xto Energy Inc..
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued March 4, 2011, permitted to 12,000 ft.
It was permitted by Berry Oil Comp. and has since transferred to Xto Energy Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 7 formation tops, including Yates, San Andres, Clear Fork, Spraberry.
Its lease has reported 429K barrels of oil and 3.65M mcf of gas since January 1993, with no volume in the three years through April 2026. The lease carries 17 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

Well logs
4 logs loaded from the RRC's log index, the latest received Nov 24, 2014. Density, Neutron, Resistivity. 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.
