Martin County · Spraberry (Trend Area) field · Vertical
Dawn #2 (API 42-317-40072) is a well in Martin County operated by Diamondback E&P LLC, completed February 21, 2016.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued December 29, 2014, 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 10 formation tops, including Santa Rosa, Yates, Grayburg, San Andres.
Its 2 leases have reported 85.6K barrels of oil and 241K mcf of gas since August 2008, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
