Cochran County · Levelland field · Injection · Vertical
Wright D. S. J #5 (API 42-079-30894) is a well in Cochran County operated by Kimbell Operating Company, completed July 28, 2008 and listed as injection on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued April 12, 1978, permitted to 5,100 ft.
It was permitted by Texas City Refg. Inc. and has since transferred to Kimbell Operating Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including San Andres.
Its lease has reported 264K barrels of oil and 110K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 8 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
It holds an active disposal or injection permit, with 35.4K barrels injected in the 12 months reported through February 2026.
