Brown Altman #2
Winkler County · Emperor (Yates) field · Shut IN · Vertical
Brown Altman #2 (API 42-495-00559) is a well in Winkler County operated by Basin Oil & Gas Operating LLC, completed February 15, 1944 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule, shut in May 1, 2020.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 2005 and 2007, permitted to 3,155 ft.
It was permitted by Merit Energy Company and has since transferred to Basin Oil & Gas Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Its 3 leases have reported 35.2K barrels of oil and 70.7K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 5 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
