Bastrop County · Bateman (Austin Chalk) field · Producing · Vertical
Valois #5 (API 42-021-30797) is a well in Bastrop County operated by Rannic Inc., completed February 23, 1984 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued December 8, 1983, permitted to 2,800 ft.
It was permitted by Austra-Tex Oil Company and has since transferred to Rannic Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including Midway, Navarro, Taylor, Austin Chalk.
Its lease has reported 26.3K barrels of oil and 91 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 7 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
Permitted by Austra-Tex Oil Company; the EWA schedule now lists a different operator.
