Davidson 42b #2 (API 42-329-33950) is a plugged well in Midland County, plugged September 25, 2017, last operated by Ovintiv USA Inc..

The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued December 4, 1997, 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 4 formation tops, including Clear Fork, Spraberry, Dean, Wolfcamp.

Its 2 leases have reported 256K barrels of oil and 763K mcf of gas since February 1998, last reporting volume in April 2026. The leases carry 7 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.
