Crockett County · Ozona (Canyon Sand) field · Producing · Vertical
Helbing 23 #4 (API 42-105-36281) is a well in Crockett County operated by R2q Operating LLC, completed September 1, 1998 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended twice), issued December 11, 1992, permitted to 7,050 ft.
It was permitted by Enron Oil & Gas Company and has since transferred to R2q Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Base Cret, Wolfcamp, Canyon.
Its 2 leases have reported 70.8K barrels of oil and 1.33M mcf of gas since March 1993, last reporting volume in March 2026. The leases carry 7 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
