Gauss ET AL #2ST (API 42-199-32482) is a well in Hardin County operated by Foundation Energy Management LLC, completed January 3, 2011 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued May 24, 1988, permitted to 7,000 ft.
It was permitted by Terra Resources, Inc. and has since transferred to Foundation Energy Management LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Frio, Yegua, See Original Completion.
Its lease has reported 200K barrels of oil and 103K 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.
It holds an active disposal or injection permit.
