SMJ Benson #4
Archer County · Archer County Regular field · Injection · Vertical
Smj Benson #4 (API 42-009-33044) is a well in Archer County operated by Hays Partnership, completed June 2, 2015 and listed as injection on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued September 28, 1977, permitted to 1,000 ft.
It was permitted by Farmer, Hayden and has since transferred to Hays Partnership on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Gunsight.
Its lease has reported 16.2K barrels of oil and 21 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 7 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
It holds an active disposal or injection permit, with 3.71K barrels injected in the 12 months reported through December 2025.
Operator of record
