Lavaca County · Word N. (Edwards) field · Vertical
Hathaway-Edwards Gas Unit #4 (API 42-285-31658) is a plugged well in Lavaca County, plugged November 18, 2011, last operated by Pioneer Natural Res. USA Inc..
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued March 31, 1982, permitted to 14,140 ft.
It was permitted by Howell Drilling, Inc. and has since transferred to Pioneer Natural Res. USA Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 5 formation tops, including Yegua, Wilcox, Navarro, Austin Chalk.
Its 2 leases have reported 2.52K barrels of oil and 217K mcf of gas since January 1993, with no volume in the three years through April 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
