Western Cooper #2 (API 42-173-32688) is a plugged well in Glasscock County, plugged May 18, 2005, last operated by Ladd Oil & Gas Corporation.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued September 23, 1996, permitted to 8,500 ft.
It was permitted by Rangeland Petroleum Corporation and has since transferred to Ladd Oil & Gas Corporation on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Wolfcamp.
Its lease has reported 26.1K barrels of oil and 34.2K mcf of gas since January 1997, last reporting in July 2005. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
