Bexar County · Somerset field · Vertical
Hoffman Herman #5 (API 42-029-30762) is a plugged well in Bexar County, plugged March 26, 2014, last operated by Drachen Energy CO..
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1978 and 1979, permitted to 1,385 ft.
It was permitted by Schimmel, V. I. and has since transferred to Drachen Energy CO. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Olmos.
Its lease has reported 51.3K barrels of oil and 21 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.
