Benson E #2 (API 42-503-40986) is a well in Young County operated by Dick Lindsay Oil Company Inc., completed November 20, 2000 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued March 22, 2000, permitted to 1,000 ft.
It was permitted by Lindsay, Dick and has since transferred to Dick Lindsay Oil Company Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Gunsight.
Its lease has reported 1.88K barrels of oil since November 2000, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
