Gardendale 5 #2 (API 42-135-40998) is a well in Ector County operated by Diamondback E&P LLC, completed May 10, 2014 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule, shut in October 1, 2026.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued May 30, 2011, permitted to 11,688 ft.
It was permitted by Berry Oil Comp. and has since transferred to Diamondback E&P LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 6 formation tops, including Yates, San Andres, Clear Fork, Spraberry.
Its lease has reported 948K barrels of oil and 3.88M mcf of gas since May 2010, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 16 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

Well logs
1 log loaded from the RRC's log index, the latest received Apr 14, 2016. Density, Neutron, Resistivity. These are the logs loaded into Petrora from the Railroad Commission's inventories, not necessarily every log run on the well. The RRC holds the files; each opens from its log search for the well. The kind is the RRC's description of the log; the interval is the one filed for it.

"Spans" is by this well's own filed formation tops: a formation runs from its top to the next deeper top filed, and the deepest runs to the bottom of the log. Depths are measured along the wellbore, so on a horizontal the lateral counts in the formation it was landed in.
