Upton County · Spraberry (Trend Area) field · Shut In · Vertical
Britain #3101 (API 42-461-34383) is a well in Upton County operated by SM Energy Company, completed June 22, 2023 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule, shut in February 1, 2024.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued May 6, 2003, permitted to 10,150 ft.
It was permitted by Henry Petroleum LP and has since transferred to SM Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including Clear Fork, Spraberry, Dean, Wolfcamp.
Its lease has reported 1.05M barrels of oil and 5.15M mcf of gas since October 2003, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 10 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

Well logs
1 log loaded from the RRC's log index, the latest received Nov 20, 2006. Neutron. 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.
