Burleson County · Giddings (Buda) field · Vertical
Loden #2 (API 42-051-31933) is a plugged well in Burleson County, plugged February 1, 1999, last operated by Bellwether Exploration Company.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1981 and 1982, permitted to 11,000 ft.
It was permitted by Tipco and has since transferred to Bellwether Exploration Company on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 106K barrels of oil and 750K 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.
