Spraberry Driver Unit #4 (API 42-173-00458) is a plugged well in Glasscock County, plugged March 16, 2012, last operated by Pioneer Natural Res. USA Inc..
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued June 6, 1977, permitted to 8,600 ft.
It was permitted by Hanley Company and has since transferred to Pioneer Natural Res. USA Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 19.5K barrels of oil and 132K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in May 2014. The leases carry 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
