Cooper B Unit #2 (API 42-167-31517) is a well in Galveston County operated by Houston Gulf Energy Corporation, completed July 4, 2014.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 2014 and 2017, permitted to 12,152 ft.
It was permitted by Houston Petroleum Company and has since transferred to Houston Gulf Energy Corporation on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 14 formation tops, including Algoa (7960 Marg), Algoa Way (F-1), Algoa (24), Algoa (25f).
Its 2 leases have reported 20 barrels of oil since July 2014, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
