Arco No. 2 #5U
Shelby County · Stockman (Cotton Valley) field · Producing · Vertical
Arco NO. 2 #5U (API 42-419-30842) is a well in Shelby County operated by Covenant Energy LLC, completed March 24, 2003 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule, shut in July 1, 2009.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 2002 and 2003, permitted to 10,850 ft.
It was permitted by Gmt Energy Corp. and has since transferred to Covenant Energy LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Massive Anhydrite (marker), Sligo, Travis Peak.
Its 2 leases have reported 12K barrels of oil and 756K mcf of gas since March 2003, last reporting volume in October 2023. 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 Jul 12, 2006. Density, Neutron, 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.
