Shut in

Ector County · Goldsmith (Clear Fork) field · Shut In  · Vertical

James #2 (API 42-135-41315) is a well in Ector County operated by Scout Energy Management LLC, completed April 11, 2015 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule, shut in May 1, 2026.

The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued September 2, 2011, permitted to 7,065 ft.

It was permitted by BC Operating, Inc. and has since transferred to Scout Energy Management LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 9 formation tops, including Rustler, Yates, Grayburg, San Andres.

Its lease has reported 211K barrels of oil and 1.01M mcf of gas since August 2011, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 8 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

The sources disagree, which usually means a transfer or a lease-level production filing by a different entity. Petrora goes with the schedule.

Well logs

1 log loaded from the RRC's log index, the latest received Nov 6, 2014. Neutron. These are the logs loaded into Petrora from the Railroad Commission's inventories, not necessarily every log run on the well. The RRC holds the files; each opens from its log search for the well. The kind is the RRC's description of the log; the interval is the one filed for it.

"Spans" is by this well's own filed formation tops: a formation runs from its top to the next deeper top filed, and the deepest runs to the bottom of the log. Depths are measured along the wellbore, so on a horizontal the lateral counts in the formation it was landed in.
