Watkins #4
Hutchinson County · Panhandle Hutchinson County Fld. field · Vertical
Watkins #4 (API 42-233-31910) is a plugged well in Hutchinson County, plugged October 6, 1995, last operated by Snw Operating Company.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued May 11, 1984, permitted to 3,500 ft.
It was permitted by W. B. D. Oil & Gas Company and has since transferred to Snw Operating Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Brown Dolomite.
Its lease has reported 2.25K barrels of oil and 142K mcf of gas since January 1993, with no volume in the three years through April 2026. The lease carries 16 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
