Franke Unit #4H (API 42-255-32628) is a horizontal well in Karnes County operated by Freeport-Mcmoran Oil & Gas LLC, completed September 23, 2013.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued August 3, 2012, permitted to 13,300 ft.
It was permitted by Plains Exploration & Prod. CO. and has since transferred to Freeport-Mcmoran Oil & Gas LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including Anacacho, Anacaho, Austin Chalk, Eagle Ford.
Its 2 leases have reported 2.96M barrels of oil and 9.16M mcf of gas since July 2012, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 10 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
