Foster #4 (API 42-335-32186) is a plugged well in Mitchell County, plugged June 19, 1996, last operated by Dedica Energy Corporation.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued December 7, 1981, permitted to 3,150 ft.
It was permitted by Burt Oil Company and has since transferred to Dedica Energy Corporation on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 1.97K barrels of oil and 38 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in August 1996. The lease carries 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
