Edsel Ranch #2 (API 42-287-32284) is a plugged well in Lee County, plugged October 26, 2010, last operated by Enervest Operating L.L.C..
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued June 20, 1990, permitted to 8,500 ft.
It was permitted by Gemini Exploration Company and has since transferred to Enervest Operating L.L.C. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 6 formation tops, including Austin Chalk, False Buda, Eagle Ford, Buda.
Its lease has reported 8.82K barrels of oil and 13.3K mcf of gas since the record begins in January 1993, with no volume in the three years through April 2026. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

Texas locations come from drilling permits, so most older Texas wells have none and are not listed.
