Lea Katie W. A/C 5 #31 (API 42-103-30867) is a plugged well in Crane County, plugged January 23, 2022, last operated by Contango Resources Inc..

The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued January 20, 2005, permitted to 3,700 ft.

It was permitted by Encore Operating, L.P. and has since transferred to Contango Resources Inc. on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Yates, San Andres, Judkins.

Its 2 leases have reported 66.5K barrels of oil and 304K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 13 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

The sources disagree, which usually means a transfer or a lease-level production filing by a different entity. Petrora goes with the schedule.
