Bishop Cattle Company -B- #4 B
Duval County · Loma Novia field · Shut IN · Vertical
Bishop Cattle Company -B- #4 B (API 42-131-39077) is a well in Duval County operated by Hilcorp Energy Company, completed December 1, 2008 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued May 7, 2008, permitted to 2,800 ft.
It was permitted by C. M. Oil Corporation and has since transferred to Hilcorp Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Loma Novia.
Its lease has reported 318K barrels of oil and 99 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 17 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
