Oliphant #2 (API 42-215-33119) is a plugged well in Hidalgo County, plugged December 9, 2014, last operated by Trinity River Energy Oper LLC.
The RRC has issued 3 drilling permits between 2003 and 2011, permitted to 12,500 ft.
It was permitted by Legend Natural Gas IV, LP and has since transferred to Trinity River Energy Oper LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Frio.
Its 3 leases have reported 2.73K barrels of oil and 630K mcf of gas since September 2003, last reporting in November 2015. The leases carry 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
