Davidson 38b #2 (API 42-329-33550) is a well in Midland County operated by Ovintiv USA Inc., completed November 27, 1996 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule, shut in February 1, 2018.

The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued September 5, 1996, permitted to 10,150 ft.

It was permitted by Arco Permian and has since transferred to Ovintiv USA Inc. on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Spraberry, Dean, Wolfcamp.

Its 2 leases have reported 443K barrels of oil and 977K mcf of gas since October 1995, last reporting volume in April 2026. The leases carry 11 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

The sources disagree, which usually means a transfer or a lease-level production filing by a different entity. Petrora goes with the schedule.
