Barnard-Cartex #5 (API 42-065-31538) is a well in Carson County operated by Cartex Production, completed March 16, 1984 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued August 25, 1983, permitted to 3,400 ft.
It was permitted by Cartex Production Corp. and has since transferred to Cartex Production on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 2 formation tops, including Dolomite, Granite Wash.
Its lease has reported 22K barrels of oil and 166K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
