Benedict #4 (API 42-179-31554) is a well in Gray County operated by Audrey Oil & Gas LLC, completed May 5, 1984 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued October 25, 1983, permitted to 3,400 ft.
It was permitted by Denny'S Inc. and has since transferred to Audrey Oil & Gas LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 2 formation tops, including Brown Dolomite, Granite Wash.
Its lease has reported 75.5K barrels of oil and 1.1M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 10 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
