Houston Farms #2C (API 42-167-31265) is a plugged well in Galveston County, plugged February 28, 2013, last operated by Reef Exploration L.P..
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits (amended once) between 1995 and 2002, permitted to 13,500 ft.
It was permitted by Tepco Resources, Inc. and has since transferred to Reef Exploration L.P. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Miocene (undifferentiated).
Its 2 leases have reported 170K barrels of oil and 91.3K mcf of gas since November 1995, last reporting in July 2013. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
