Stranger T. #2RE
Lee County · Giddings (Austin Chalk-3) field · Horizontal · Sidetrack
Stranger T. #2RE (API 42-287-30740) is a horizontal well in Lee County operated by Enervest Operating L.L.C., completed October 20, 1996.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits (amended once) between 1980 and 1996, permitted to 9,000 ft.
It was permitted by Union Pacific Austin Chalk CO. and has since transferred to Enervest Operating L.L.C. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Austin Chalk.
Its 2 leases have reported 11.7K barrels of oil and 2.43M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
