Malota #2 (API 42-481-35009) is a plugged well in Wharton County, plugged August 15, 2017, last operated by Viper S.W.D. LLC.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 2008 and 2009, permitted to 9,900 ft.
It was permitted by Kaler Energy Corp. and has since transferred to Viper S.W.D. LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 13.3K barrels of oil since November 2008, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
