King E #4
Midland County · Azalea (Devonian) field · Vertical
King E #4 (API 42-329-31114) is a plugged well in Midland County, plugged July 21, 2009, last operated by Pioneer Natural Res. USA Inc..
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1982 and 1983, permitted to 12,200 ft.
It was permitted by Gulf Oil Corp. and has since transferred to Pioneer Natural Res. USA Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 19.6K barrels of oil and 313K 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.
