Morton #4 (API 42-253-35583) is a well in Jones County operated by Nbx Energy LLC, completed December 27, 2019.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued November 5, 2019, permitted to 5,000 ft.
It was permitted by Lkktx 2018, LLC and has since transferred to Nbx Energy LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 10 formation tops, including Coleman Junction, Palo Pinto, Strawn, Bluff Creek Sand - Disposal.
Its 2 leases have reported 224K barrels of oil and 77.8K mcf of gas since August 2019, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 62 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
