Butler J. D. #2 (API 42-023-30919) is a plugged well in Baylor County, plugged December 15, 2020, last operated by Bep Operating LLC.

The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued May 18, 1983, permitted to 1,600 ft.

It was permitted by Belco Oil Company, Inc. and has since transferred to Bep Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report one formation top, including Tannehill.

Its lease has reported 101 barrels of oil and 19 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.

The sources disagree, which usually means a transfer or a lease-level production filing by a different entity. Petrora goes with the schedule.
