Benson (Deep) #2 (API 42-009-39950) is a well in Archer County operated by Hays Partnership, completed June 21, 1988 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued May 18, 1988, permitted to 4,999 ft.
It was permitted by Sunday Corporation and has since transferred to Hays Partnership on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Gunsight, KMA, Caddo.
Its lease has reported 50.8K barrels of oil and 35 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
