John Otis -B- #4 (API 42-227-33091) is a well in Howard County operated by Legacy Reserves Operating LP, completed August 28, 1983.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued June 6, 1983, permitted to 2,500 ft.
It was permitted by Guthrie, A. K. Operating CO. and has since transferred to Legacy Reserves Operating LP on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 42.3K barrels of oil and 21 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 9 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
