Brown County · Brown County Regular field · Vertical
Mathews #5 (API 42-049-32997) is a plugged well in Brown County, plugged June 6, 2012, last operated by Lord Bros. Oil & Gas.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued December 29, 1981, permitted to 1,500 ft.
It was permitted by Twin Drilling CO., Inc. and has since transferred to Lord Bros. Oil & Gas on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 410 barrels of oil and 103 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in February 2013. The leases carry 7 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
