Kurz R.G. JR. #5 (API 42-029-32914) is a plugged well in Bexar County, plugged July 29, 2024, last operated by Vargas Oil & Gas.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued April 4, 1983, permitted to 1,700 ft.
It was permitted by Shoreline Operating, Inc. and has since transferred to Vargas Oil & Gas on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 8.81K barrels of oil and 21 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
