Atascosa County · Jourdanton West (Escondido) field · Vertical
Mcdonald #2 (API 42-013-31180) is a well in Atascosa County operated by Watson Energy Investments LLC, completed March 28, 1981.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued January 12, 1981, permitted to 5,500 ft.
It was permitted by Watson Oil Corporation and has since transferred to Watson Energy Investments LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 50.1K barrels of oil and 107 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
