Hughes #4 (API 42-383-32761) is a well in Reagan County operated by Permian Resources Operating LLC, completed December 6, 1984 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule, shut in February 1, 2017.

The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued September 28, 1983, permitted to 7,450 ft.

It was permitted by Discovery Operating, Inc. and has since transferred to Permian Resources Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 2 formation tops, including Spraberry, Dean.

Its lease has reported 69.8K barrels of oil and 565K mcf of gas since the record begins in January 1993, with no volume in the three years through August 2026. The lease carries 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

The sources disagree, which usually means a transfer or a lease-level production filing by a different entity. Petrora goes with the schedule.

Texas locations come from drilling permits, so most older Texas wells have none and are not listed.

Wells named Hughes

Permian Resources Operating LLC's other wells filed under this lease name in Reagan County, newest permit first. The RRC gives a gas well its own lease number, so the name is what joins the wells of a unit.

Chain of custody

Operator on the lease's P-4

Each operator named on the P-4 filings for this well's lease (a gas well is its own lease), from the date its filing took effect. The P-4 is filed by lease, so a date before the well was drilled is the lease's.
