Glasscock County · Spraberry (Trend Area) field · Shut In · Vertical
Powell E.L. C #4 (API 42-173-31887) is a well in Glasscock County operated by Oxy USA Inc., completed March 3, 2025 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule, shut in April 1, 2017.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued August 15, 1985, permitted to 11,500 ft.
It was permitted by Amoco Production Company and has since transferred to Oxy USA Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Clear Fork, Dean, Wolfcamp.
Its 2 leases have reported 698K barrels of oil and 2.82M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 10 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
