Wardner #2A
Starr County · EL Tanque field · Vertical
Wardner #2A (API 42-427-31637) is a plugged well in Starr County, plugged April 30, 2002, last operated by Poor Boy Oilfield Service.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued February 26, 1982, permitted to 1,700 ft.
It was permitted by Sarrita Oil CO., Inc. and has since transferred to Poor Boy Oilfield Service on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 1.38K barrels of oil and 38 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
