Howard County · Vealmoor East field · Vertical
East Vealmoor Unit #WSW #2 (API 42-227-31700) is a plugged well in Howard County, plugged January 20, 1994, last operated by Surge Operating LLC.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued November 1, 1978, permitted to 1,000 ft.
It was permitted by Getty Oil CO. and has since transferred to Surge Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 3.7M barrels of oil and 10.7M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 91 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
