Gaines County · Seagraves South (San Andres) field · Producing · Vertical
Grimes #2 (API 42-165-31938) is a well in Gaines County operated by Wtg Exploration, completed April 16, 1981 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued November 19, 1980, permitted to 5,700 ft.
It was permitted by Wtg Exploration, Inc. and has since transferred to Wtg Exploration on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 251K barrels of oil and 12K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
