Jones Brothers #2
Panola County · Itex (Pettet) field · Producing · Vertical
Jones Brothers #2 (API 42-365-31531) is a well in Panola County operated by Hightower Exploration, completed November 26, 1982 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued September 30, 1982, permitted to 7,500 ft.
It was permitted by Dynex Energy Inc. and has since transferred to Hightower Exploration on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 106K barrels of oil and 170K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
Permitted by Dynex Energy Inc.; the EWA schedule now lists a different operator.
