White Galan Gas Unit #11 (API 42-401-34903) is a well in Rusk County operated by Sabine Energy Inc., completed January 31, 2009 and listed as temp abandoned on the RRC schedule, shut in February 1, 2016.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued September 10, 2008, permitted to 11,850 ft.
It was permitted by Forest Oil Corporation and has since transferred to Sabine Energy Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Pettit, Travis Peak, Cotton Valley.
Its 2 leases have reported 1.58K barrels of oil and 253K mcf of gas since November 2008, 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 27, 2011. 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.
