Martin County · Spraberry (Trend Area) field · Vertical
Epley J. C. #2 (API 42-317-32690) is a plugged well in Martin County, plugged February 12, 1996, last operated by Diamondback E&P LLC.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued March 10, 1983, permitted to 9,400 ft.
It was permitted by Cox, John L. and has since transferred to Diamondback E&P LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 95.4K barrels of oil and 128K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in February 2024. The lease carries 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
