Orange County · Orange field · NO Production · Vertical
Michel -B- #2 (API 42-361-00889) is a well in Orange County operated by Orangefield Operating Corporatio, completed April 25, 1982 and listed as no production on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued June 2, 1981, permitted to 7,000 ft.
It was permitted by Cormier, Paul and has since transferred to Orangefield Operating Corporatio on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 77K barrels of oil and 29 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
