Childers Elmer #2 (API 42-401-32542) is a well in Rusk County operated by Mustang Drilling Inc., completed September 16, 1994.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued April 28, 1994, permitted to 8,000 ft.
It was permitted by Tascosa Petroleum Corporation and has since transferred to Mustang Drilling Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Tp.
Its 3 leases have reported 11.3K barrels of oil and 672K mcf of gas since September 1994, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
