Wise County · Wise County Regular field · Vertical
Mcdonald Unit #2 (API 42-497-32329) is a plugged well in Wise County, plugged September 16, 2025, last operated by Western Chief Operating L.L.C..
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1981 and 1994, permitted to 6,000 ft.
It was permitted by Mccutchin, Jerry and has since transferred to Western Chief Operating L.L.C. on the wellbore schedule.
Its 3 leases have reported 16 barrels of oil and 482 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
