Amoco State 18 #4 (API 42-301-30196) is a plugged well in Loving County, plugged June 9, 1979, last operated by Hng Oil Company.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1977 and 1980, permitted to 18,500 ft.
It was permitted by Evinger, Ernest E. and has since transferred to Hng Oil Company on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 194K barrels of oil and 136K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 38 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
