Karen #4507 (API 42-461-36240) is a well in Upton County operated by Firebird Energy II LLC, completed April 4, 2009 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued December 12, 2008, permitted to 10,343 ft.
It was permitted by Summit Petroleum LLC and has since transferred to Firebird Energy II LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including Clear Fork, Spraberry, Dean, Wolfcamp.
Its lease has reported 293K barrels of oil and 487K mcf of gas since December 2007, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

Well logs
1 log loaded from the RRC's log index, the latest received Aug 20, 2014. Neutron. These are the logs loaded into Petrora from the Railroad Commission's inventories, not necessarily every log run on the well. The RRC holds the files; each opens from its log search for the well. The kind is the RRC's description of the log; the interval is the one filed for it.

"Spans" is by this well's own filed formation tops: a formation runs from its top to the next deeper top filed, and the deepest runs to the bottom of the log. Depths are measured along the wellbore, so on a horizontal the lateral counts in the formation it was landed in.
