Cotton E. A. #4X (API 42-051-30030) is a well in Burleson County operated by Pairadice Oil & Gas Company LLC, completed May 18, 1971.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued May 12, 2012, permitted to 3,706 ft.
It was permitted by Hamman Oil & Refining Company and has since transferred to Pairadice Oil & Gas Company LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including O Sand, P Sand, A Sand.
Its 3 leases have reported 96.8K barrels of oil and 249 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 10 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
It holds an active disposal or injection permit, with 41.5K barrels injected in the 12 months reported through April 2025.
