Needle E #4LL (API 42-227-42185) is a horizontal well in Howard County operated by Oxyrock Operating LLC, completed May 23, 2024 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued June 23, 2023, permitted to 9,000 ft.
It was permitted by Crownquest Operating, LLC and has since transferred to Oxyrock Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Its lease has reported 590K barrels of oil and 1.13M mcf of gas since March 2024, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
