Benham Gas Unit #4
Bee County · Pawnee S. (Wilcox) field · Producing · Horizontal
Benham Gas Unit #4 (API 42-025-33192) is a horizontal well in Bee County operated by Blackbrush O & G LLC, completed February 23, 2003 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule, shut in February 1, 2016.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits (amended once) between 2002 and 2003, permitted to 8,800 ft.
It was permitted by Pioneer Natural Res. USA, Inc. and has since transferred to Blackbrush O & G LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including Queen City, Wilcox, Midway, Edwards.
Its 3 leases have reported 57K barrels of oil and 702K mcf of gas since February 2003, with no volume in the three years through April 2026. The leases carry 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
