Reeves County · Wolfbone (Trend Area) field · Producing · Horizontal
Mamba 17 #2H (API 42-389-34221) is a horizontal well in Reeves County operated by Vtx Energy Operating LLC, completed November 1, 2021 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued April 30, 2014, permitted to 10,657 ft.
It was permitted by Patriot Resources, Inc. and has since transferred to Vtx Energy Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 11 formation tops, including Lamar, Bone Spring, Wolfcamp, Bell Canyon.
Its lease has reported 376K barrels of oil and 406K mcf of gas since January 2012, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

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