Forman C #4H
Wise County · Newark East (Barnett Shale) field · Producing · Horizontal
Forman C #4H (API 42-497-36589) is a horizontal well in Wise County operated by Lime Rock Resources IV-A L.P., completed October 31, 2008 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule, shut in August 1, 2026.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued July 24, 2008, permitted to 8,538 ft.
It was permitted by Encana Oil & Gas(USA) Inc. and has since transferred to Lime Rock Resources IV-A L.P. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Marble Falls, Barnett, Forestburg.
Its 2 leases have reported 17.7K barrels of oil and 1.3M mcf of gas since October 2008, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
