Drake I. L. #4 (API 42-429-32496) is a plugged well in Stephens County, plugged December 29, 1999, last operated by Statex Petroleum Inc..
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued April 22, 1980, permitted to 4,300 ft.
It was permitted by Conner, J. E. and has since transferred to Statex Petroleum Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Caddo.
Its 2 leases have reported 223K barrels of oil and 1.29K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in May 2003. The leases carry 28 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
