Brown County · Brown County Regular field · Vertical
Bowers D.L. -A- #4 (API 42-049-31681) is a well in Brown County operated by Frisco Mineral Management LLC, completed October 18, 1978.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued April 3, 1978, permitted to 2,900 ft.
It was permitted by European-Southwest CO. and has since transferred to Frisco Mineral Management LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 7.96K barrels of oil and 4.85K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 8 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
