Jennie Ray -A- #4A
Sterling County · Parochial-Bade W. (Cons.) field · Vertical
Jennie Ray -A- #4A (API 42-431-30888) is a plugged well in Sterling County, plugged September 5, 2018, last operated by Black River Operating LLC.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued July 10, 1980, permitted to 2,350 ft.
It was permitted by Hmh Operators and has since transferred to Black River Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 170K barrels of oil and 21 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 10 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
