Bell C #4 (API 42-003-34873) is a well in Andrews County operated by Ring Energy Inc., completed November 10, 1989 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued April 2, 1985, permitted to 6,150 ft.
It was permitted by Txo Production Corp. and has since transferred to Ring Energy Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including Russler, Yates, San Andres, Glorieta.
Its lease has reported 260K barrels of oil and 60.7K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
