Trusty Gas Unit #2 (API 42-199-00556) is a well in Hardin County operated by Silver Oak Energy LLC, completed June 28, 1999.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits (amended once) between 1985 and 1999, permitted to 7,233 ft.
It was permitted by Merit Energy Company and has since transferred to Silver Oak Energy LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including Miocene (undifferentiated), Frio, Jackson, Yegua.
Its 3 leases have reported 5.09K barrels of oil and 335K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
