Biry Frank C. #4
Medina County · Taylor-Ina field · NO Production · Vertical
Biry Frank C. #4 (API 42-325-30875) is a well in Medina County operated by Texas Secondary Oil Corporation, completed June 9, 1978 and listed as no production on the RRC schedule, shut in September 1, 2025.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued May 19, 1978, permitted to 908 ft.
It was permitted by Mcfadden Oil Corporation and has since transferred to Texas Secondary Oil Corporation on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 288 barrels of oil and 2 mcf of gas since January 1993, with no volume in the three years through April 2026. The lease carries 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

Surface location
No coordinates on the permit record yet. The RRC's GIS record usually lands within days of issuance; historical master-file permits never carry one.

Every well with a location on file around this well, in any state, nearest first.
Texas locations come from drilling permits, so most older Texas wells have none and are not listed.
