Lamb County · Billy (Abo) field · Producing · Vertical
Billy (Abo) Unit #2 (API 42-279-30331) is a well in Lamb County operated by R2q Operating LLC, completed February 9, 1996 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued December 29, 1995, permitted to 7,050 ft.
It was permitted by Meridian Oil Inc. and has since transferred to R2q Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including Rustler, San Andres, Clear Fork, Abo.
Its 2 leases have reported 1.38M barrels of oil and 300K mcf of gas since December 1995, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 20 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
