Reeves County · Phantom (Wolfcamp) field · Horizontal
Ranger 56-40 Unit #1H (API 42-389-34099) is a plugged horizontal well in Reeves County, plugged September 20, 2019, last operated by Pdc Permian Inc..
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued January 23, 2014, permitted to 11,500 ft.
It was permitted by Energen Resources Corporation and has since transferred to Pdc Permian Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 8 formation tops, including Delaware, Castile, Cherry Canyon, Bell Canyon.
Its 2 leases have reported 19.9K barrels of oil and 756K mcf of gas since January 2015, with no volume in the three years through 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 Oct 16, 2017. 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.
