Borden County · Reo (JO Mill Lower) field · Producing · Vertical
Ned Smith Unit #4 (API 42-033-30805) is a well in Borden County operated by Estancia Oil & Gas LLC, completed December 7, 1982 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule, shut in November 1, 2026.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1982 and 1983, permitted to 7,480 ft.
It was permitted by Brown, H. L., JR. and has since transferred to Estancia Oil & Gas LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Its 3 leases have reported 1.76M barrels of oil and 495K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 23 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
