Midland County · Spraberry (Trend Area) field · Shut In · Vertical

The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued June 28, 2012, permitted to 11,638 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 Spraberry, Strawn, Atoka.
Its lease has reported 60.3K barrels of oil and 176K mcf of gas since July 1996, with no volume in the three years through April 2026. The lease carries 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

Well logs
1 log loaded from the RRC's log index, the latest received Aug 31, 2015. 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.
