Big Chief #4617H
Reeves County · Hoefs T-K (Wolfcamp) field · Producing · Horizontal
Big Chief #4617H (API 42-389-34305) is a horizontal well in Reeves County operated by Scout Energy Management LLC, completed March 14, 2015 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued June 9, 2014, permitted to 10,187 ft.
It was permitted by Cog Operating LLC and has since transferred to Scout Energy Management LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 8 formation tops, including Delaware, Castile, Cherry Canyon, Bell Canyon.
Its lease has reported 8.81M barrels of oil and 15.6M mcf of gas since July 2012, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 34 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

Texas locations come from drilling permits, so most older Texas wells have none and are not listed.

Well logs
1 log loaded from the RRC's log index, the latest received Dec 19, 2017. Cement bond. 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.
