Hill Bessie #4 (API 42-297-00486) is a well in Live Oak County operated by Messy Oil And Gas LLC, completed June 25, 1983 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued August 3, 1982, permitted to 1,450 ft.
It was permitted by Schiefelbein, R. E., Estate and has since transferred to Messy Oil And Gas LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 53.5K barrels of oil and 319 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 6 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
