Four Square Ranch #13
Edwards County · Sawyer (Canyon) field · Temp Abandoned · Vertical
Four Square Ranch #13 (API 42-137-31798) is a well in Edwards County operated by Hilcorp Energy Company, completed September 29, 2005 and listed as temp abandoned on the RRC schedule, shut in May 1, 2013.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended twice), issued August 16, 2005, permitted to 7,500 ft.
It was permitted by Newfield Exploration Company and has since transferred to Hilcorp Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 5 formation tops, including Sonora Canyon, 2nd Holomon, 3rd Holomon, Strawn.
Its 2 leases have reported 65.2K mcf of gas since September 2005, with no volume in the three years through April 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

Well logs
2 logs loaded from the RRC's log index, the latest received Jul 5, 2006. Density, Neutron, Resistivity. These are the logs loaded into Petrora from the Railroad Commission's inventories, not necessarily every log run on the well. The RRC holds the files; each opens from its log search for the well. The kind is the RRC's description of the log; the interval is the one filed for it.

"Spans" is by this well's own filed formation tops: a formation runs from its top to the next deeper top filed, and the deepest runs to the bottom of the log. Depths are measured along the wellbore, so on a horizontal the lateral counts in the formation it was landed in.
