WELL · 42-079-31068 · DISTRICT 8
Wright J. M. Unit #2
Cochran County · Levelland (San Andres) field · Vertical
Wright J. M. Unit #2 (API 42-079-31068) is a well in Cochran County operated by Walsh Petroleum Inc., completed October 15, 1980.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued May 11, 1979, permitted to 5,100 ft.
It was permitted by Gen. Amer. Oil CO. Of Texas and has since transferred to Walsh Petroleum Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 2.09M barrels of oil and 1.72M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 100 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
Permitted by Gen. Amer. Oil Co. of Texas; the EWA schedule now lists a different operator.
