Sterling A #2 (API 42-227-36519) is a well in Howard County operated by Gng Operating LLC, completed January 31, 2011 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued October 21, 2010, permitted to 3,500 ft.
It was permitted by Desert Production, Inc. and has since transferred to Gng Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 2 formation tops, including Yates, San Andres.
Its lease has reported 80K barrels of oil since June 2010, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
