Howard County · Spraberry (Trend Area) field · Producing · Horizontal
Fryar Unit A 13-12 #2H (API 42-227-38235) is a horizontal well in Howard County operated by Surge Operating LLC, completed March 4, 2015 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued August 26, 2014, permitted to 10,000 ft.
It was permitted by Element Petro Operating II, LLC and has since transferred to Surge Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 9 formation tops, including Seven Rivers, Yates, Glorieta, San Andres.
Its lease has reported 1.81M barrels of oil and 5.15M mcf of gas since March 2015, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 8 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
