Carter W. R. ET UX #2 (API 42-199-00530) is a plugged well in Hardin County, plugged July 14, 2015, last operated by Atlantic Richfield CO..
The RRC has issued 5 drilling permits (amended once) between 1981 and 2000, permitted to 7,220 ft.
It was permitted by Merit Energy Company and has since transferred to Atlantic Richfield CO. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 5 formation tops, including W-1, Y-1a, Y-1, Y-2.
Its 5 leases have reported 16.5K barrels of oil and 269K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in September 2015. The leases carry 6 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
