Upton County · Spraberry (Trend Area) field · Producing · Vertical
Elkin 29 A #2 (API 42-461-02852) is a well in Upton County operated by Diamondback E&P LLC, completed December 21, 1996 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued May 26, 1995, permitted to 9,204 ft.
It was permitted by Stephens, Autry C. and has since transferred to Diamondback E&P LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including Spraberry, Lwr Spraberry, Dean, Wolfcamp.
Its 3 leases have reported 13M barrels of oil and 32.7M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The leases carry 383 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
