Ransom #2 (API 42-041-30895) is a plugged well in Brazos County, plugged March 28, 2001, last operated by Confed Oil Incorporated.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued March 2, 1983, permitted to 8,707 ft.
It was permitted by Lammerts, Robert P. and has since transferred to Confed Oil Incorporated on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 6 formation tops, including Austin Chalk, Chalk, Wood, Woodbine.
Its 2 leases have reported 1.32M barrels of oil and 2.3M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 115 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
