Burleson County · Giddings (Austin Chalk-3) field · Producing · Horizontal · Directional · Sidetrack
Herrman Roy H. #4 (API 42-051-31020) is a horizontal well in Burleson County operated by Wildfire Energy Operating LLC, completed October 2, 1991 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits (amended once) between 1980 and 1991, permitted to 12,000 ft.
It was permitted by United Oil & Minerals, Inc. and has since transferred to Wildfire Energy Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 2 formation tops, including Pecan Gap, Austin Chalk.
Its lease has reported 231K barrels of oil and 1.16M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 9 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
