Baker Katherine K. #2 (API 42-409-32494) is a plugged well in San Patricio County, plugged April 21, 2021, last operated by Royko Oil Company.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued February 9, 1996, permitted to 6,500 ft.
It was permitted by Richman Petroleum Corp. and has since transferred to Royko Oil Company on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 15.8K barrels of oil and 37.3K mcf of gas since April 1996, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
