Midland County · Spraberry (Trend Area) field · Producing · Vertical

Davidson 42 #6 (API 42-329-37642) is a well in Midland County operated by Ovintiv USA Inc., completed January 5, 2012 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.

The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued October 17, 2011, permitted to 11,707 ft.

It was permitted by Athlon Energy Operating LLC and has since transferred to Ovintiv USA Inc. on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Clear Fork, Spraberry, Atoka.

Its lease has reported 212K barrels of oil and 578K mcf of gas since February 1998, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 5 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

Well logs

1 log loaded from the RRC's log index, the latest received Apr 23, 2015. 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.
