Hepler Clarence #4
Chambers County · Stowell (Intermediate U-2) field · Vertical
Hepler Clarence #4 (API 42-071-31986) is a well in Chambers County operated by Puls W. L., completed April 1, 1992.
The RRC has issued 3 drilling permits between 1992 and 2022, permitted to 9,000 ft.
It was permitted by Puls Operating Company and has since transferred to Puls W. L. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 8 formation tops, including Miocene (undifferentiated), Discorbis, Frio, Caprock.
Its 3 leases have reported 85.4K barrels of oil and 25K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
