Belknap Mesquite #4 (API 42-503-36868) is a plugged well in Young County, plugged April 24, 2012, last operated by Hughes H. L. Oil.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued April 27, 1983, permitted to 800 ft.
It was permitted by Eaton Petroleum, Inc. and has since transferred to Hughes H. L. Oil on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 352 barrels of oil and 21 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
Permitted by Eaton Petroleum, Inc.; the EWA schedule now lists a different operator.
