Caldwell County · Dale-McBride field · Vertical
Witter C.L.Unit A #5 (API 42-055-34217) is a plugged well in Caldwell County, plugged July 10, 2019, last operated by Eagle Ford Oil CO. Inc..
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued January 16, 1987, permitted to 2,500 ft.
It was permitted by Ahabb Oil and has since transferred to Eagle Ford Oil CO. Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Austin Chalk.
Its lease has reported 3.83K barrels of oil and 66 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 7 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
