Kies #2M
Gonzales County · Eagleville (Eagle Ford-1) field · Observation · Vertical
Kies #2M (API 42-177-32283) is a well in Gonzales County operated by Auterra Operating LLC, completed August 5, 2011 and listed as observation on the RRC schedule, shut in February 1, 2026.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued June 28, 2011, permitted to 6,820 ft.
It was permitted by Forest Oil Corporation and has since transferred to Auterra Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Buda, Del Rio, Georgetown.
Its lease has reported 65.9K barrels of oil and 25.1K mcf of gas since September 2011, with no volume in the three years through April 2026. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

Well logs
1 log loaded from the RRC's log index, the latest received Aug 5, 2014. Density, Neutron, Resistivity. These are the logs loaded into Petrora from the Railroad Commission's inventories, not necessarily every log run on the well. The RRC holds the files; each opens from its log search for the well. The kind is the RRC's description of the log; the interval is the one filed for it.

"Spans" is by this well's own filed formation tops: a formation runs from its top to the next deeper top filed, and the deepest runs to the bottom of the log. Depths are measured along the wellbore, so on a horizontal the lateral counts in the formation it was landed in.
