Welder E #4
Goliad County · Vidauri West (4800) field · Vertical
Welder E #4 (API 42-175-32948) is a plugged well in Goliad County, plugged February 19, 1998, last operated by Wiser Oil Company The.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1996 and 2018, permitted to 6,500 ft.
It was permitted by Charro Operating, L.L.C. and has since transferred to Wiser Oil Company The on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Frio.
Its 2 leases have reported 135K barrels of oil and 225K mcf of gas since December 1996, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 6 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
It holds an active disposal or injection permit, with 126K barrels injected in the 12 months reported through December 2025; TexNet located 0 M2+ earthquakes within 10 km over the last two years.
