Blackdog #2 (API 42-003-40356) is a well in Andrews County operated by Vin Fisher Operating Inc., completed May 1, 2008 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued January 9, 2008, permitted to 7,300 ft.
It was permitted by Burleson, Lewis B. Inc. and has since transferred to Vin Fisher Operating Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Clear Fork.
Its lease has reported 37.5K barrels of oil and 39.8K mcf of gas since November 2007, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
