Kotara Emil J. et AL #2
Wilson County · Lyssy (Carrizo -D-) field · Vertical
Kotara Emil J. ET AL #2 (API 42-493-32436) is a plugged well in Wilson County, plugged July 6, 2017, last operated by Texstar Drilling Inc..
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued January 12, 1996, permitted to 2,200 ft.
It was permitted by Cimarron Engineering Corp. and has since transferred to Texstar Drilling Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Carrizo.
Its 2 leases have reported 1.53K barrels of oil and 22.2K mcf of gas since February 1996, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
Permitted by Cimarron Engineering Corp.; the EWA schedule now lists a different operator.
