Zapata County · J J & J (Lobo) field · Producing · Vertical
Martinez L. #2 (API 42-505-31899) is a well in Zapata County operated by Varas Energy Operating Company, completed January 15, 1994 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1984 and 1992, permitted to 12,400 ft.
It was permitted by Enron Oil & Gas Company and has since transferred to Varas Energy Operating Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Queen City, Wilcox, Lobo.
Its 2 leases have reported 1.78K barrels of oil and 1.65M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
