Carter W. L. #2 D
Frio County · Pearsall (Austin Chalk) field · Vertical
Carter W. L. #2 D (API 42-163-30170) is a plugged well in Frio County, plugged July 5, 2011, last operated by Hughes Dan A. Company L.P..
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued March 15, 1983, permitted to 4,960 ft.
It was permitted by Burk Royalty Company and has since transferred to Hughes Dan A. Company L.P. on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 15K barrels of oil and 12.2K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 11 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
