Ryan J. B. #2 (API 42-227-31703) is a plugged well in Howard County, plugged January 8, 2010, last operated by Mule Kick Operating LLC.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued November 6, 1978, permitted to 10,000 ft.
It was permitted by Maralo, Inc. and has since transferred to Mule Kick Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 848K barrels of oil and 426K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 10 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
