Deacon Jim 16 #4H
Reeves County · Wolfbone (Trend Area) field · Shut In · Horizontal
Deacon Jim 16 #4H (API 42-389-34572) is a horizontal well in Reeves County operated by Noble Energy Inc, completed January 23, 2015 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule, shut in January 1, 2015.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued October 7, 2014, permitted to 10,042 ft.
It was permitted by Rosetta Resources Operating LP and has since transferred to Noble Energy Inc on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 8 formation tops, including Castile, Delaware, Bell Canyon, Cherry Canyon.
Its lease has reported 111K barrels of oil and 531K mcf of gas since September 2014, with no volume in the three years through April 2026. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
