Owen James E. #2A (API 42-139-30128) is a plugged well in Ellis County, plugged January 28, 2011, last operated by Means Oil Company LLC.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued December 27, 1979, permitted to 800 ft.
It was permitted by B. J. Oil CO. Inc. and has since transferred to Means Oil Company LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 2 formation tops, including Taylor, Wolfcity Sd.
Its 2 leases have reported 21K barrels of oil and 200 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 77 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
