Pierce-Fordyce #A2 (API 42-485-36442) is a well in Wichita County operated by Swenson Backhoe Service Inc., completed July 19, 1980 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued May 13, 1980, permitted to 1,916 ft.
It was permitted by James Oil Company and has since transferred to Swenson Backhoe Service Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 7.67K barrels of oil and 144 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 32 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
