Upton County · Spraberry (Trend Area) field · Vertical
Brusenhan #4 (API 42-461-31873) is a plugged well in Upton County, plugged June 24, 1998, last operated by Ovintiv USA Inc..
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued December 31, 1981, permitted to 9,400 ft.
It was permitted by Saxon Oil Company and has since transferred to Ovintiv USA Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 66.9K barrels of oil and 88.9K mcf of gas since January 1993, with no volume in the three years through April 2026. The lease carries 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
