Mclaughlin #2 (API 42-353-30773) is a plugged well in Nolan County, plugged January 20, 2001, last operated by Katsco Energy Inc..

The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued May 2, 1979, permitted to 6,010 ft.

It was permitted by Fisher-Webb, Inc. and has since transferred to Katsco Energy Inc. on the wellbore schedule.

Its 2 leases have reported 1.89K barrels of oil and 18.2K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in March 2001. The leases carry 3 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.
