Riddle -A- #2
Jack County · Dillard SE. (Ellenburger) field · Injection · Vertical
Riddle -A- #2 (API 42-237-33403) is a well in Jack County operated by Bowles Energy Inc., completed January 5, 1981 and listed as injection on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued October 16, 1980, permitted to 6,400 ft.
It was permitted by Bettis, Boyle & Stovall and has since transferred to Bowles Energy Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 1.34K barrels of oil and 30 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
It holds an active disposal or injection permit, with 5.88K barrels injected in the 12 months reported through June 2025.
