Price J. #2 (API 42-039-31531) is a plugged well in Brazoria County, plugged September 21, 2022, last operated by Chisholm Oil Investments.
The RRC has issued 4 drilling permits (amended once) between 1980 and 1996, permitted to 8,215 ft.
It was permitted by Howard Exploration, Inc. and has since transferred to Chisholm Oil Investments on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Frio.
Its 2 leases have reported 53K barrels of oil and 115K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
