Keaton D #4 (API 42-317-35762) is a well in Martin County operated by New Height Energy LLC, completed August 21, 2025 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued December 14, 2009, permitted to 11,000 ft.
It was permitted by JM Cox Resources, L.P. and has since transferred to New Height Energy LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 5 formation tops, including Clear Fork, Spraberry, Deam, Dean.
Its lease has reported 255K barrels of oil and 460K mcf of gas since August 2009, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 5 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
