John 2 #4 (API 42-317-36597) is a plugged well in Martin County, plugged October 10, 2022, last operated by Diamondback E&P LLC.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued January 31, 2011, permitted to 12,000 ft.
It was permitted by R K Petroleum Corp. and has since transferred to Diamondback E&P LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Spraberry, Dean, Strawn.
Its lease has reported 264K barrels of oil and 474K mcf of gas since March 2008, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 6 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
