Dawson County · Gin (Spraberry) field · Producing · Vertical
Nix 31 #2 (API 42-115-32892) is a well in Dawson County operated by Diamondback E&P LLC, completed June 5, 1996 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued May 6, 1996, permitted to 8,350 ft.
It was permitted by R K Petroleum Corporation and has since transferred to Diamondback E&P LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 5 formation tops, including T/San Andres, T/Middle Clearfork, T/Spraberry, T/Gin Sand.
Its lease has reported 179K barrels of oil and 136K mcf of gas since September 1994, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
