Melinda #252WB
Upton County · Spraberry (Trend Area) field · Producing · Horizontal
Melinda #252WB (API 42-461-39770) is a horizontal well in Upton County operated by Ovintiv USA Inc., completed June 8, 2015 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued September 16, 2014, permitted to 9,832 ft.
It was permitted by Henry Resources LLC and has since transferred to Ovintiv USA Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 9 formation tops, including Yates, Grayburg, San Andres, Spraberry.
Its 2 leases have reported 4.08M barrels of oil and 13.5M mcf of gas since June 2010, last reporting volume in April 2026. The leases carry 51 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
