Hirsh B #2 (API 42-461-34019) is a plugged well in Upton County, plugged October 11, 2020, last operated by Diamondback E&P LLC.

The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1999 and 2001, permitted to 8,600 ft.

It was permitted by Energen Resources Corporation and has since transferred to Diamondback E&P LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 5 formation tops, including Clear Fork, Spraberry, Lwr Spraberry, Dean.

Its lease has reported 86.5K barrels of oil and 315K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in December 2023. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
