Knight-Watson #5
Andrews County · Fuhrman-Mascho field · Shut In · Vertical
Knight-Watson #5 (API 42-003-39987) is a well in Andrews County operated by Montare Operating Ltd., completed January 29, 2007 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule, shut in June 1, 2020.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued November 10, 2006, permitted to 4,789 ft.
It was permitted by OK Arena Operating Company and has since transferred to Montare Operating Ltd. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Yates, Grayburg, San Andres.
Its lease has reported 148K barrels of oil and 106K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 13 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
It holds an active disposal or injection permit.

Well logs
1 log loaded from the RRC's log index, the latest received Jul 18, 2008. Density, Neutron. These are the logs loaded into Petrora from the Railroad Commission's inventories, not necessarily every log run on the well. The RRC holds the files; each opens from its log search for the well. The kind is the RRC's description of the log; the interval is the one filed for it.

"Spans" is by this well's own filed formation tops: a formation runs from its top to the next deeper top filed, and the deepest runs to the bottom of the log. Depths are measured along the wellbore, so on a horizontal the lateral counts in the formation it was landed in.
