Montague County · Newark East (Barnett Shale) field · Producing · Directional
Busby #1 (API 42-337-34206) is a well in Montague County operated by Bkv Barnett LLC, completed August 16, 2009 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued April 7, 2009, permitted to 8,427 ft.
It was permitted by Eog Resources, Inc. and has since transferred to Bkv Barnett LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 6 formation tops, including Atoka, Marble Falls, Barnett, Bend.
Its 2 leases have reported 13.3K barrels of oil and 407K mcf of gas since July 2009, last reporting volume in April 2026. The leases carry 2 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 7, 2012. 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.
