Murdoch K.E. #2 (API 42-049-31575) is a well in Brown County operated by Southwest Gas Systems Inc., completed January 12, 1978 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued November 29, 1977, permitted to 3,320 ft.
It was permitted by Sioux Natural Gas Corporation and has since transferred to Southwest Gas Systems Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Caddo, Marble Falls, Duffer.
Its 2 leases have reported 12.5K barrels of oil and 45.8K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
