Dowden C. A. #2 (API 42-501-33019) is a well in Yoakum County operated by Extex Operating Company, completed March 27, 1986 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued January 22, 1986, permitted to 7,000 ft.
It was permitted by 3 Way Operating Company and has since transferred to Extex Operating Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 2 formation tops, including Glorieta, Clear Fork.
Its lease has reported 149K barrels of oil and 21 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
