Seals C. R. #4 (API 42-009-40561) is a plugged well in Archer County, plugged June 21, 2000, last operated by Efficiency Operating Company.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued December 27, 1991, permitted to 1,999 ft.
It was permitted by V & R Exploration and has since transferred to Efficiency Operating Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Thomas Sand.
Its lease has reported 4.81K barrels of oil and 51 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in March 2008. The lease carries 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
Permitted by V & R Exploration; the EWA schedule now lists a different operator.
