Cochran County · Blowing Sand (San Andres) field · Injection · Vertical
Seiber E. H. #5 (API 42-079-31457) is a well in Cochran County operated by Joplin Oil CO. Inc., completed May 29, 1989 and listed as injection on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued September 28, 1981, permitted to 5,250 ft.
It was permitted by Arch Petroleum Inc. and has since transferred to Joplin Oil CO. Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 90.6K barrels of oil and 2.9K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 10 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
It holds an active disposal or injection permit, with 11.4K barrels injected in the 12 months reported through January 2026.
