Kelton #2 (API 42-483-31015) is a well in Wheeler County operated by H & L Operating CO. L.L.P., completed January 28, 1985.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued February 2, 1982, permitted to 10,900 ft.
It was permitted by Cominco American Inc. and has since transferred to H & L Operating CO. L.L.P. on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 74.5K barrels of oil and 714K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
