Howard #2B (API 42-337-33606) is a well in Montague County operated by Salmon Raymond JR Estate, completed March 28, 2004 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued January 28, 2004, permitted to 2,000 ft.
It was permitted by Hood, J. Frank, JR. and has since transferred to Salmon Raymond JR Estate on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Thomas Sand.
Its lease has reported 9.91K barrels of oil since July 2003, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
Permitted by Hood, J. Frank, Jr.; the EWA schedule now lists a different operator.
