Russell J. L. #2
Bastrop County · Serbin (Taylor Sand) field · Shut IN · Vertical
Russell J. L. #2 (API 42-021-31248) is a well in Bastrop County operated by Trivista Operating LLC, completed July 26, 1989 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued September 12, 1988, permitted to 5,500 ft.
It was permitted by Ernest Operating Company and has since transferred to Trivista Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Taylor.
Its lease has reported 46K barrels of oil and 11.4K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
