James #4 (API 42-083-35472) is a plugged well in Coleman County, plugged January 4, 2017, last operated by Blanton Oil LLC.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued March 8, 1996, permitted to 2,000 ft.
It was permitted by Scranton Exploration and has since transferred to Blanton Oil LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Cross Cut Sand.
Its lease has reported 7.66K barrels of oil since September 1994, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
Permitted by Scranton Exploration; the EWA schedule now lists a different operator.
