Allen W. C. #2
Shackelford County · Birthday (Moran) field · Shut IN · Vertical
Allen W. C. #2 (API 42-417-34816) is a well in Shackelford County operated by Dark Canyon Resources LLC, completed November 2, 1982 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued October 27, 1982, permitted to 2,999 ft.
It was permitted by Grothe Bros. and has since transferred to Dark Canyon Resources LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 34.9K barrels of oil and 22 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 7 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
It holds an active disposal or injection permit.
Operator of record
