Brown-Merrick 431 #1
Throckmorton County · Jack Austin (Strawn SD) field · Producing · Vertical
Brown-Merrick 431 #1 (API 42-447-36572) is a well in Throckmorton County operated by Burk Royalty CO. Ltd., completed June 1, 2021 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued June 17, 2014, permitted to 4,834 ft.
It was permitted by Bennett Resources, Inc. and has since transferred to Burk Royalty CO. Ltd. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 10 formation tops, including Frye - Disposal, Cisco, Coleman Junction, Cook - Disposal.
Its lease has reported 239K barrels of oil and 73.1K mcf of gas since September 2014, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 14 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
It holds an active disposal or injection permit, with 102K barrels injected in the 12 months reported through August 2021.

Well logs
1 log loaded from the RRC's log index, the latest received Aug 2, 2017. 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.
