Ring A Unit #4H (API 42-149-33253) is a horizontal well in Fayette County operated by FW Eagle Ford I LLC, completed September 9, 2012 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued April 19, 2012, permitted to 16,500 ft.
It was permitted by Southern Bay Operating, L.L.C. and has since transferred to FW Eagle Ford I LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including Austin Chalk, A2-Ash Marker, A2 - Ash Marker, Eagleville (Eagle Ford).
Its lease has reported 743K barrels of oil and 485K mcf of gas since January 2012, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 5 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
