McDowell Bertha Dell Unit #4
Jackson County · Gabrysch (6300) field · Vertical
Mcdowell Bertha Dell Unit #4 (API 42-239-31410) is a well in Jackson County operated by Beard Oil Company LLC, completed September 13, 1979.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1979 and 2002, permitted to 6,450 ft.
It was permitted by Goldston Oil Corp. and has since transferred to Beard Oil Company LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 150K barrels of oil and 245K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 5 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
