Ferrell M. E. #4 (API 42-237-32719) is a well in Jack County operated by Pursley John, completed September 25, 2002.

The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1979 and 1993, permitted to 5,500 ft.

It was permitted by Mitchell Energy Corporation and has since transferred to Pursley John on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 2 formation tops, including Strawn, Atoka.

Its 2 leases have reported 210 barrels of oil and 55.9K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

The sources disagree, which usually means a transfer or a lease-level production filing by a different entity. Petrora goes with the schedule.
