Welch James A. #2 (API 42-155-30804) is a well in Foard County operated by Williams A. Oil, completed November 1, 2017 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued August 31, 2017, permitted to 7,000 ft.
It was permitted by Menasco, J. and has since transferred to Williams A. Oil on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 10 formation tops, including Coleman Junction, Bend, Caddo, Canyon.
Its lease has reported 76.1K barrels of oil and 74 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.
