Hinkson #4 (API 42-363-31003) is a well in Palo Pinto County operated by Dodson Prairie Oil & Gas LLC, completed December 11, 1991 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule, shut in June 1, 2020.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1991 and 1994, permitted to 4,025 ft.
It was permitted by Upham, Chester R., JR. and has since transferred to Dodson Prairie Oil & Gas LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Big Saline.
Its 2 leases have reported 198K barrels of oil and 1.2M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 11 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
