Reeves County · Hoefs T-K (Wolfcamp) field · Horizontal
Big Chief #4768H (API 42-389-34596) is a plugged horizontal well in Reeves County, plugged June 17, 2020, last operated by Scout Energy Management LLC.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued October 10, 2014, permitted to 9,000 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, Bell Canyon, Cherry 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.

Well logs
1 log loaded from the RRC's log index, the latest received Feb 22, 2018. Neutron. 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.
