Murphy Willie #2 (API 42-025-31274) is a well in Bee County operated by Orr Charles D. Iii, completed April 29, 1981.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued March 6, 1980, permitted to 3,400 ft.
It was permitted by Yates Exploration CO. and has since transferred to Orr Charles D. Iii on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 2 formation tops, including Oakville, Catahoula.
Its lease has reported 9.52K barrels of oil and 68 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.
It holds an active disposal or injection permit.
