Reed D. C. #4 (API 42-173-31025) is a plugged well in Glasscock County, plugged January 5, 2007, last operated by Vencer Energy LLC.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued November 8, 1979, permitted to 8,550 ft.
It was permitted by Hanley Company and has since transferred to Vencer Energy LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 191K barrels of oil and 460K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in April 2022. The lease carries 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
