Howard County · Spraberry (Trend Area) field · Horizontal
Newton 43b #4HE (API 42-227-39269) is a horizontal well in Howard County operated by Ovintiv USA Inc., completed September 3, 2018.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended twice), issued October 20, 2017, permitted to 8,900 ft.
It was permitted by Encana Oil & Gas(USA) Inc. and has since transferred to Ovintiv USA Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 11 formation tops, including Yates, San Andres, Clear Fork, Spraberry.
Its 2 leases have reported 674K barrels of oil and 1.83M mcf of gas since September 2018, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 5 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
