Schaefer #5 (API 42-133-33099) is a plugged well in Eastland County, plugged April 8, 2015, last operated by Interstate Explorations LLC.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued June 23, 1981, permitted to 1,500 ft.
It was permitted by Ridgeway Oil Expl & Dev., Inc and has since transferred to Interstate Explorations LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 48.9K barrels of oil and 40 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 9 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
