Saunders -A- #2
Howard County · Moore field · Vertical
Saunders -A- #2 (API 42-227-34176) is a well in Howard County operated by Hartoil Corporation, completed September 15, 1987.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued July 15, 1987, permitted to 3,600 ft.
It was permitted by Enduro Oil Company Inc. and has since transferred to Hartoil Corporation on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Redbed.
Its 2 leases have reported 37.7K barrels of oil and 40 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
Permitted by Enduro Oil Company Inc.; the EWA schedule now lists a different operator.
