Higginbotham #2X (API 42-501-35527) is a well in Yoakum County operated by Burk Royalty CO. Ltd., completed August 24, 2008 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued April 12, 2008, permitted to 5,500 ft.
It was permitted by Walsh Petroleum, Inc. and has since transferred to Burk Royalty CO. Ltd. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including San Andres.
Its lease has reported 183K barrels of oil and 536K mcf of gas since October 2007, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
