Newberry Unit #2 (API 42-007-30792) is a plugged well in Aransas County, plugged January 16, 2013, last operated by Whiting Oil And Gas Corporation.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1990 and 1992, permitted to 7,900 ft.
It was permitted by Genesis Producing Company and has since transferred to Whiting Oil And Gas Corporation on the wellbore schedule.
Its 4 leases have reported 269K barrels of oil and 603K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in May 2013. The leases carry 8 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
