Mcelroy Ranch CO. 119 #21 (API 42-461-34160) is a horizontal well in Upton County operated by Apache Corporation, completed August 22, 2002 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued March 26, 2001, permitted to 11,750 ft.
It was permitted by Arco Permian and has since transferred to Apache Corporation on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 6 formation tops, including San Andres, Pennsylvanian, Woodford, Devonian.
Its 2 leases have reported 24.4K barrels of oil and 1.9M mcf of gas since September 2001, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
