South Pena Creek Unit #5 (API 42-127-30526) is a plugged well in Dimmit County, plugged December 29, 2016, last operated by Atlas Operating LLC.

The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued December 19, 1994, permitted to 3,375 ft.

It was permitted by Conoco Inc. and has since transferred to Atlas Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Escondido, Olmos, San Miguel.

Its 2 leases have reported 821K barrels of oil and 41.5K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 87 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
