Callahan County · Callahan County Regular field · Vertical

Seward #4 (API 42-059-01062) is a plugged well in Callahan County, plugged December 2, 2004, last operated by Edwards James W. JR..

The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued July 28, 1981, permitted to 500 ft.

It was permitted by W & W Oil CO. and has since transferred to Edwards James W. JR. on the wellbore schedule.

Its lease has reported 17 barrels of oil and 17 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
