Foster H. S. #5 (API 42-135-39649) is a well in Ector County operated by Par Development, completed July 31, 2009 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued October 7, 2008, permitted to 4,700 ft.
It was permitted by Turrentine Oil & Gas, Inc. and has since transferred to Par Development on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Grayburg.
Its lease has reported 206K barrels of oil and 197K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 6 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
