David John #2 (API 42-225-30633) is a plugged well in Houston County, plugged May 11, 2011, last operated by HD Operating CO LLC.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued July 16, 1985, permitted to 1,800 ft.
It was permitted by P.A.M. Petroleum, Inc. and has since transferred to HD Operating CO LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Queen City, Carrizo, Wilcox.
Its lease has reported 248K barrels of oil and 27 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 6 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
