Alexander E.C. #4
Caldwell County · Buchanan field · NO Production · Vertical
Alexander E.C. #4 (API 42-055-31905) is a well in Caldwell County operated by Centex Pipe & Equipment Inc., completed July 1, 1981 and listed as no production on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued March 23, 1981, permitted to 2,600 ft.
It was permitted by Lockhart Oil & Gas and has since transferred to Centex Pipe & Equipment Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 39.9K barrels of oil and 80.5K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 12 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
Permitted by Lockhart Oil & Gas; the EWA schedule now lists a different operator.
