Neal 39 #2 (API 42-461-31875) is a well in Upton County operated by Ovintiv USA Inc., completed August 11, 2016 and listed as injection on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued December 31, 1981, permitted to 9,400 ft.
It was permitted by Cox, John L. and has since transferred to Ovintiv USA Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 9 formation tops, including Yates, Grayburg, San Andres, Devonian.
Its lease has reported 62.6K barrels of oil and 197K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
It holds an active disposal or injection permit, with 959K barrels injected in the 12 months reported through November 2025.
