Betty Sue Bird B #4 (API 42-493-31155) is a well in Wilson County operated by Rafter L Resources LLC, completed November 2, 1982 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued September 13, 1982, permitted to 2,990 ft.
It was permitted by Niedorf, Patrick Stephen and has since transferred to Rafter L Resources LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 56.3K barrels of oil and 15 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 15 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
