Guadalupe County · LA Vernia field · Shut IN · Vertical
Richardson Bishop #4 (API 42-187-33251) is a well in Guadalupe County operated by Production Resources Inc., completed July 1, 1982 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued December 17, 1981, permitted to 1,100 ft.
It was permitted by Texas Oil Producing System, Inc. and has since transferred to Production Resources Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 4.46K barrels of oil and 109 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
