Gowan #5 (API 42-077-31012) is a plugged well in Clay County, plugged August 29, 2007, last operated by Pruitt Oil & Gas.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued August 22, 1977, permitted to 4,900 ft.
It was permitted by Publishers Petroleum and has since transferred to Pruitt Oil & Gas on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Bryson.
Its lease has reported 22K barrels of oil and 303 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in March 2008. The lease carries 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
