Payne #2 (API 42-461-32075) is a plugged well in Upton County, plugged January 22, 2010, last operated by Prime Operating Company.

The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued October 19, 1983, permitted to 9,000 ft.

It was permitted by Lewis & Atkins Oil & Gas, Inc. and has since transferred to Prime Operating Company on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including Spraberry, Jo Mill, Dean, Wolfcamp.

Its lease has reported 22.7K barrels of oil and 38K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in October 2011. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
