Mcarthur #2 (API 42-263-31643) is a well in Kent County operated by Sojourner Drilling Corporation, completed June 17, 1999 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued April 24, 1998, permitted to 6,500 ft.
It was permitted by Merit Energy Company and has since transferred to Sojourner Drilling Corporation on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Cisco.
Its lease has reported 73.2K barrels of oil and 9.18K 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.
