Limestone County · Freestone (Travis Peak) field · Producing · Vertical
Hudson A #4 (API 42-293-31053) is a well in Limestone County operated by Hilcorp Energy Company, completed November 9, 2007 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1994 and 2007, permitted to 11,850 ft.
It was permitted by Xto Energy Inc. and has since transferred to Hilcorp Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 7 formation tops, including Austin Chalk, Buda, Glen Rose, BMA.
Its 3 leases have reported 44.7K barrels of oil and 5.16M mcf of gas since June 1994, last reporting volume in April 2026. The leases carry 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

Well logs
1 log loaded from the RRC's log index, the latest received Mar 31, 2003. Resistivity, Sonic. These are the logs loaded into Petrora from the Railroad Commission's inventories, not necessarily every log run on the well. The RRC holds the files; each opens from its log search for the well. The kind is the RRC's description of the log; the interval is the one filed for it.

"Spans" is by this well's own filed formation tops: a formation runs from its top to the next deeper top filed, and the deepest runs to the bottom of the log. Depths are measured along the wellbore, so on a horizontal the lateral counts in the formation it was landed in.
