John B. Bowen JR -A- #4 (API 42-227-32900) is a well in Howard County operated by Vanguard Production Company, completed September 30, 1982.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1982 and 1983, permitted to 3,250 ft.
It was permitted by Dyson, J.A. & Sons Production CO and has since transferred to Vanguard Production Company on the wellbore schedule.
Its 3 leases have reported 63.6K barrels of oil and 150 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 16 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
