Jones 21a-7 #2 (API 42-165-35096) is a plugged well in Gaines County, plugged September 4, 2024, last operated by Black Sheep Oil & Gas LLC.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued November 26, 1996, permitted to 3,500 ft.
It was permitted by Minihan Oil & Gas Corporation and has since transferred to Black Sheep Oil & Gas LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Yates.
Its 2 leases have reported 94 barrels of oil and 20 mcf of gas since May 1997, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
Permitted by Minihan Oil & Gas Corporation; the EWA schedule now lists a different operator.
