Wichita County · Cash (Strawn 3820) field · Shut IN · Vertical
Banta -A- #4 (API 42-485-35629) is a well in Wichita County operated by R2q Operating LLC, completed July 28, 1980 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued September 14, 1979, permitted to 4,000 ft.
It was permitted by Shab Oil Company and has since transferred to R2q Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 129K barrels of oil and 46 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
