Bolton A-4 #4
Rusk County · Laneville NE. (Pettit Lo.) field · Vertical
Bolton A-4 #4 (API 42-401-31221) is a plugged well in Rusk County, plugged May 10, 2018, last operated by Faulconer Energy LLC.
The RRC has issued 3 drilling permits between 1981 and 1984, permitted to 8,000 ft.
It was permitted by Txo Production Corp. and has since transferred to Faulconer Energy LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 5 formation tops, including Massive Anhydrite (marker), Rodessa, James Lime, Pettit.
Its 3 leases have reported 58.4K barrels of oil and 185K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in May 2023. The leases carry 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
