Howard Vivian #2
Martin County · Spraberry (Trend Area) field · Shut In · Vertical
Howard Vivian #2 (API 42-317-33856) is a well in Martin County operated by Diamondback E&P LLC, completed June 10, 1991 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule, shut in August 1, 2022.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued March 14, 1991, permitted to 12,115 ft.
It was permitted by Cox, John L. and has since transferred to Diamondback E&P LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 10 formation tops, including Redbeds, Spraberry, Dean, Wolfcamp.
Its lease has reported 74.3K barrels of oil and 185K mcf of gas since January 1993, with no volume in the three years through April 2026. The lease carries 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
