Brown County · Brown County Regular field · Producing · Vertical
Stephens A #4A (API 42-049-34246) is a well in Brown County operated by Simpson Operating Services LP, completed March 21, 1985 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued January 31, 1985, permitted to 2,000 ft.
It was permitted by Penn, C. J. Truck Service, Inc. and has since transferred to Simpson Operating Services LP on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Caddo.
Its lease has reported 12.4K barrels of oil and 30 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 17 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
Permitted by Penn, C. J. Truck Service, Inc.; the EWA schedule now lists a different operator.
