Murphey Elta T. A #4 (API 42-235-32161) is a well in Irion County operated by Kstone Energy LLC, completed October 25, 1983 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued September 8, 1983, permitted to 7,000 ft.
It was permitted by Boyd, Frank and has since transferred to Kstone Energy LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 6 formation tops, including Grayburg, San Andres, Clear Fork, Spraberry.
Its lease has reported 27.7K barrels of oil and 38.7K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
