Cope R. L. #2 (API 42-431-30880) is a well in Sterling County operated by P1 Energy LLC, completed December 12, 2008 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule, shut in January 1, 2009.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1980 and 2008, permitted to 8,506 ft.
It was permitted by Merit Energy Company and has since transferred to P1 Energy LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Wolfcamp, Cisco, Canyon.
Its 3 leases have reported 7.75K barrels of oil and 712K mcf of gas since January 1993, with no volume in the three years through April 2026. The leases carry 12 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
Permitted by Merit Energy Company; the EWA schedule now lists a different operator.
