Foster B. J. #2 A (API 42-135-41956) is a well in Ector County operated by Baker Operating Inc., completed September 7, 2012 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued August 13, 2012, permitted to 4,700 ft.
It was permitted by Sunray Energy, Inc. and has since transferred to Baker Operating Inc. on the wellbore schedule.

Its lease has reported 39.3K barrels of oil and 9 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
