Starr County · Samano E. (Massive 7200) field · Producing · Directional

Samano #40 (API 42-427-33559) is a well in Starr County operated by Petrovybe Opco LLC, completed May 22, 2006 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.

The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued November 27, 2002, permitted to 10,698 ft.

It was permitted by El Paso Production Oil & Gas CO. and has since transferred to Petrovybe Opco LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 2 formation tops, including 2nd Rincon, Massive 7200.

Its 2 leases have reported 36.5K barrels of oil and 2.67M mcf of gas since January 2003, last reporting volume in April 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
