Rayford Bess Gas Unit #2 (API 42-401-34343) is a well in Rusk County operated by Eqv Operating LLC, completed July 13, 2007 and listed as swr-10-well on the RRC schedule, shut in December 1, 2018.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued May 25, 2007, permitted to 10,852 ft.
It was permitted by Goodrich Petroleum Company and has since transferred to Eqv Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Austin Chalk, James Lime, Sligo.
Its 2 leases have reported 11.5K barrels of oil and 853K mcf of gas since July 2007, last reporting volume in April 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

Well logs
1 log loaded from the RRC's log index, the latest received Jul 27, 2010. Density, Neutron, Resistivity. These are the logs loaded into Petrora from the Railroad Commission's inventories, not necessarily every log run on the well. The RRC holds the files; each opens from its log search for the well. The kind is the RRC's description of the log; the interval is the one filed for it.

"Spans" is by this well's own filed formation tops: a formation runs from its top to the next deeper top filed, and the deepest runs to the bottom of the log. Depths are measured along the wellbore, so on a horizontal the lateral counts in the formation it was landed in.
