Wright Estate #4
Cochran County · Levelland (San Andres) field · Vertical
Wright Estate #4 (API 42-079-31013) is a well in Cochran County operated by D C Oil Company Inc., completed January 16, 1979.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued November 6, 1978, permitted to 5,000 ft.
It was permitted by United Company and has since transferred to D C Oil Company Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 4.97K barrels of oil and 17.8K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
Permitted by United Company; the EWA schedule now lists a different operator.
