Sale Ranch S #4 (API 42-317-33038) is a plugged well in Martin County, plugged August 1, 1996, last operated by Pioneer Natural Res. USA Inc..

The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued October 26, 1984, permitted to 9,300 ft.

It was permitted by Adobe Oil & Gas Corp. and has since transferred to Pioneer Natural Res. USA Inc. on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Spraberry, Dean, Wolfcamp.

Its lease has reported 222K barrels of oil and 242K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in December 2024. The lease carries 6 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
