Gray County · Panhandle Gray County Field field · NO Production · Vertical
Emil #2 (API 42-179-31779) is a well in Gray County operated by Hess Production, completed June 13, 1985 and listed as no production on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued April 19, 1985, permitted to 3,500 ft.
It was permitted by Diablo Production Ltd. and has since transferred to Hess Production on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Brown Dolomite, Arkois, Granite Wash.
Its lease has reported 28.2K barrels of oil and 156K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
