Grant 18A #4HK
Howard County · Spraberry (Trend Area) field · Horizontal
Grant 18a #4HK (API 42-227-40400) is a horizontal well in Howard County operated by Ovintiv USA Inc., completed February 8, 2020.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued October 24, 2019, permitted to 10,000 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, Glorieta, Clear Fork.
Its lease has reported 334K barrels of oil and 795K mcf of gas since February 2020, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
