Mead J. #5 (API 42-029-32916) is a plugged well in Bexar County, plugged August 7, 2024, last operated by Vargas Oil & Gas.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued April 6, 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.
Completion filings report one formation top, including 1 Olmos.
Its lease has reported 10.5K barrels of oil and 21 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 8 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
Permitted by Shoreline Operating, Inc.; the EWA schedule now lists a different operator.
