Mcelroy Ranch 134 #1 (API 42-461-34655) is a well in Upton County operated by Apache Corporation, completed January 20, 2005 and listed as temp abandoned on the RRC schedule, shut in November 1, 2021.

The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued October 8, 2004, permitted to 12,226 ft.

It was permitted by BP America Production Company and has since transferred to Apache Corporation on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including Yates, Wolfcamp, Barnett, Devonian.

Its 2 leases have reported 2.09K barrels of oil and 256K mcf of gas since January 2005, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
