Potter County · Bivins Ranch (Red Cave) field · Temp Abandoned · Vertical
Bivins Ranch C #3001 (API 42-375-31471) is a well in Potter County operated by Elendil Resources LLC, completed April 24, 1998 and listed as temp abandoned on the RRC schedule, shut in May 1, 2013.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1995 and 1998, permitted to 3,800 ft.
It was permitted by J. W. Resources Inc. and has since transferred to Elendil Resources LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Red Cave, Panhandle Lime, Wolfcamp.
Its 2 leases have reported 144K mcf of gas since October 1995, with no volume in the three years through April 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
