Burchell 2A #2
Howard County · Spraberry (Trend Area) field · Shut IN · Vertical
Burchell 2a #2 (API 42-227-36222) is a well in Howard County operated by New Height Energy LLC, completed July 23, 2009 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits (amended once) in 2009, permitted to 11,000 ft.
It was permitted by Element Petroleum Operating, LLC and has since transferred to New Height Energy LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Wolfamp, Wolfcamp, Pennsylvanian.
Its 2 leases have reported 55.6K barrels of oil and 288K mcf of gas since March 2009, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
