Watson R. L. #C 2 (API 42-503-40047) is a permitted well in Young County filed by Villa Petroleum, Inc.; no completion report is on file yet.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued July 17, 1989, permitted to 1,000 ft.
It was permitted by Villa Petroleum, Inc. and has since transferred to DM Backhoe Service on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 511 barrels of oil and 4 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 5 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
