Leon County · Bear Grass (Travis Peak) field · Producing · Vertical
Newell A #4 (API 42-289-31321) is a well in Leon County operated by Hilcorp Energy Company, completed June 19, 2009 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits (amended once) between 2000 and 2009, permitted to 9,709 ft.
It was permitted by Xto Energy Inc. and has since transferred to Hilcorp Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 6 formation tops, including Austin Chalk, Buda, Glen Rose, Rodessa.
Its 2 leases have reported 24.6K barrels of oil and 1.75M mcf of gas since July 2000, last reporting volume in April 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
