Brooks County · Scott & Hopper (7400-B S) field · Vertical
Garcia Gas Unit #2 (API 42-047-31560) is a well in Brooks County operated by Cotton W. L., completed November 14, 1994.
The RRC has issued 3 drilling permits between 1989 and 2000, permitted to 9,200 ft.
It was permitted by Anderson Oil Ltd and has since transferred to Cotton W. L. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 2 formation tops, including Frio, Vicksburg.
Its 4 leases have reported 43.7K barrels of oil and 275K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
