McKnight #4
Jones County · Bartlett East field · Shut IN · Vertical
Mcknight #4 (API 42-253-34715) is a well in Jones County operated by Grayrock Energy II LLC, completed April 7, 2005 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued October 13, 2004, permitted to 3,999 ft.
It was permitted by L.C.S. Production Company and has since transferred to Grayrock Energy II LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Swastika Sand.
Its lease has reported 7.18K barrels of oil and 9.85K mcf of gas since September 2004, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
Permitted by L.C.S. Production Company; the EWA schedule now lists a different operator.
