Gutierrez J. M. A #2
Zapata County · Cinco de Mayo (Consolidated) field · Temp Abandoned · Vertical
Gutierrez J. M. A #2 (API 42-505-32828) is a well in Zapata County operated by Varas Energy Operating Company, completed December 1, 1996 and listed as temp abandoned on the RRC schedule, shut in May 1, 2021.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued September 16, 1991, permitted to 6,600 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 one formation top, including Wilcox.
Its 2 leases have reported 6.32K barrels of oil and 7.65M mcf of gas since January 1993, with no volume in the three years through April 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
