Upton County · Davis (Pennsylvanian) field · Vertical
Davies H. C. #1 (API 42-461-02978) is a plugged well in Upton County, plugged January 10, 2017, last operated by SM Energy Company.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued December 31, 1982, permitted to 10,570 ft.
It was permitted by Texaco Inc. and has since transferred to SM Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Pennsylvanian, Atoka, Ellenburger.
Its 2 leases have reported 9.7K barrels of oil and 176K mcf of gas since January 1993, with no volume in the three years through April 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
