Frio County · Pearsall (Austin Chalk) field · Horizontal
Gouger #2 (API 42-163-32750) is a plugged horizontal well in Frio County, plugged August 27, 1998, last operated by 3-M Energy Corporation.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued June 12, 1990, permitted to 10,200 ft.
It was permitted by Cuatro-J and has since transferred to 3-M Energy Corporation on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including San Miguel, Anacacho, Austin Chalk.
Its 2 leases have reported 13K barrels of oil and 7.3K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
