MR. Dynamite 41-44 #2DN (API 42-227-42374) is a horizontal well in Howard County operated by Crescent Energy Operating LLC, completed November 5, 2024 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued January 23, 2024, permitted to 9,000 ft.
It was permitted by Vital Energy, Inc. and has since transferred to Crescent Energy Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 10 formation tops, including Rustler, Yates, Seven Rivers, Queen.
Its lease has reported 638K barrels of oil and 896K mcf of gas since August 2017, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 5 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
