Hooks Sterling #2 (API 42-199-32153) is a plugged well in Hardin County, plugged December 10, 2004, last operated by L&B Production.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued July 10, 1984, permitted to 7,000 ft.
It was permitted by Prairie Producing Company and has since transferred to L&B Production on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 5 formation tops, including Yegua, Ey-A, Ey-D Sd, Nod Mex-E Sd.
Its lease has reported 7.45K barrels of oil and 21 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
