Chambers County · Whites Bayou S. (TX Warreni) field · Vertical
White Heirs #4 (API 42-071-31566) is a well in Chambers County operated by Gary Oil & Gas, completed April 9, 1984.
The RRC has issued 4 drilling permits between 1984 and 1997, permitted to 10,010 ft.
It was permitted by Headington Oil Company and has since transferred to Gary Oil & Gas on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 2 formation tops, including Frio, Vicksburg.
Its 4 leases have reported 101K barrels of oil and 346K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
