Wichita County · Wichita County Regular field · Producing · Vertical
Witcher #4 (API 42-485-43596) is a well in Wichita County operated by Finnell Oil Services Inc., completed June 15, 2001 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued December 4, 2000, permitted to 1,000 ft.
It was permitted by Dbd Operating Company and has since transferred to Finnell Oil Services Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Upper 800, Lower 800, 900.
Its lease has reported 51.4K barrels of oil and 19 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 5 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
