- Not one formation; the well must be completed in one of them, and no target formation is stated. The district's wildcat field is also on the permit.
Munoz #9 (API 42-505-34873) is a well in Zapata County operated by Hilcorp Energy Company, completed August 25, 2004 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued November 20, 2003, permitted to 14,200 ft.
It was permitted by Houston Exploration Company, The and has since transferred to Hilcorp Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 9 formation tops, including Lobo Unconformity, Perdido Unconformity, Top Perdido A, Base Perdido A.
Its 2 leases have reported 109 barrels of oil and 818K mcf of gas since February 2004, last reporting volume in 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 Apr 17, 2007. 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.
