Shell-Perkins #4 (API 42-003-34078) is a plugged well in Andrews County, plugged December 27, 2001, last operated by Highmark Energy Operating LLC.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued March 16, 1984, permitted to 9,500 ft.
It was permitted by Maralo, Inc. and has since transferred to Highmark Energy Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 6 formation tops, including Rustler, San Andres, Glorieta, Wolfcamp.
Its lease has reported 204K barrels of oil and 385K mcf of gas since the record begins in January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 10 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
