Archer County · Archer County Regular field · Vertical
Kempner H #5 (API 42-009-38691) is a plugged well in Archer County, plugged October 2, 2002, last operated by Johnson & Ernst Operating CO..
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued December 12, 1984, permitted to 1,000 ft.
It was permitted by Johnson, F. T., JR. and has since transferred to Johnson & Ernst Operating CO. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including 750 Sand.
Its lease has reported 4.74K barrels of oil and 180K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in December 2011. The lease carries 8 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
