Pierce-Fordyce #4A (API 42-485-36440) is a well in Wichita County operated by Swenson Backhoe Service Inc., completed September 3, 1983 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1980 and 1983, permitted to 1,610 ft.
It was permitted by James Oil Company and has since transferred to Swenson Backhoe Service Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 7.67K barrels of oil and 144 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 32 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
