Walton J. B. -A- #4 (API 42-495-04569) is a plugged well in Winkler County, plugged April 5, 2021, last operated by Arco Oil & Gas CO..
The RRC has issued 3 drilling permits between 1982 and 2008, permitted to 9,830 ft.
It was permitted by Bepco, L.P. and has since transferred to Arco Oil & Gas CO. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 5 formation tops, including Yates, Glorieta, Detrital, Silurian (undifferentiated).
Its 2 leases have reported 17.2K barrels of oil and 1.64M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in March 2021. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
