Baylor County · Seymour Pool field · Producing · Vertical
Fowlkes R. E. #A 2 (API 42-023-31534) is a well in Baylor County operated by Cooper Oil & Gas LLC, completed November 4, 1998 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued October 1, 1998, permitted to 2,550 ft.
It was permitted by Merit Energy Company and has since transferred to Cooper Oil & Gas LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Canyon.
Its lease has reported 98.1K barrels of oil and 21 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.
