Upton County · Spraberry (Trend Area) field · Shut In · Vertical
Powell 23p #3 (API 42-461-39511) is a well in Upton County operated by Pioneer Natural Res. USA Inc., completed November 9, 2014 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule, shut in December 1, 2023.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued June 17, 2014, permitted to 11,466 ft.
It was permitted by Athlon Holdings LP and has since transferred to Pioneer Natural Res. USA Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 9 formation tops, including Yates, Grayburg, San Andres, Spraberry.
Its 2 leases have reported 135K barrels of oil and 461K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in August 2023. The leases carry 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

Well logs
1 log loaded from the RRC's log index, the latest received Sep 19, 2017. Density, 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.
