Archer County · Archer County Regular field · Vertical
Richardson Trust #4 (API 42-009-35778) is a plugged well in Archer County, plugged February 6, 2013, last operated by Palmer Scott Oil.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued December 1, 1981, permitted to 1,500 ft.
It was permitted by Mahler & Scott and has since transferred to Palmer Scott Oil on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 7.44K barrels of oil and 21 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in June 2019. The lease carries 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
