Laren #5
Ector County · Goldsmith (Clear Fork) field · Producing · Vertical
Laren #5 (API 42-135-37497) is a well in Ector County operated by Formentera Operations LLC, completed June 15, 2011 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued July 18, 1997, permitted to 6,500 ft.
It was permitted by Anadarko Petroleum Corp. and has since transferred to Formentera Operations LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Glorieta, Clear Fork, Clfk.
Its lease has reported 1.21M barrels of oil and 2.11M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 14 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
