Smith #4A (API 42-135-33331) is a plugged well in Ector County, plugged October 12, 2005, last operated by Kenworthy Oil Company.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued February 27, 1980, permitted to 4,600 ft.
It was permitted by Texas Crude Oil CO. and has since transferred to Kenworthy Oil Company on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 117K barrels of oil and 30 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 5 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
