Zapata County · Los Mogotes (Wilcox Cons.) field · Producing · Directional
Haynes L. #85 (API 42-505-34666) is a well in Zapata County operated by Merit Energy Company, completed December 28, 2006 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule, shut in August 1, 2015.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits (amended once) between 2003 and 2006, permitted to 9,850 ft.
It was permitted by Pogo Producing Company and has since transferred to Merit Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 5 formation tops, including Upper Asche Marker, Top Lower Asche, Note: No Log Above 7,988', Note: No Log Above 7988'.
Its 2 leases have reported 2.5K barrels of oil and 1.07M mcf of gas since June 2003, with no volume in the three years through April 2026. The leases carry 2 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 25, 2006. Density, Gamma ray, Neutron, Resistivity. 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.
