Mcadams W. J. #5 (API 42-033-31118) is a plugged well in Borden County, plugged January 8, 2018, last operated by Crescent Energy Operating LLC.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued December 31, 1984, permitted to 8,000 ft.
It was permitted by Petro-Search, Inc. and has since transferred to Crescent Energy Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Canyon.
Its lease has reported 156K barrels of oil and 167K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
