Austin County · Raccoon Bend (Sparta) field · Vertical
Hardy Rufus Unit -A- #2A (API 42-015-00074) is a plugged well in Austin County, plugged July 19, 2002, last operated by Falcon Seaboard Drlg. CO..
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued March 15, 1988, permitted to 6,800 ft.
It was permitted by Smith, L. C. and has since transferred to Falcon Seaboard Drlg. CO. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Sparta.
Its lease has reported 10.4K barrels of oil and 19 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in August 2003. The lease carries 5 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
Permitted by Smith, L. C.; the EWA schedule now lists a different operator.
