Marathon University -4- #2 (API 42-003-38137) is a well in Andrews County operated by Vin Fisher Operating Inc., completed April 7, 1997 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued January 24, 1997, permitted to 4,800 ft.
It was permitted by Ausland Production Company and has since transferred to Vin Fisher Operating Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 2 formation tops, including Yates, San Andres.
Its lease has reported 38.5K barrels of oil and 91.2K mcf of gas since September 1996, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
