Ellis County · Corsicana (Shallow) field · Vertical
Owen J. E. #5 (API 42-139-30138) is a plugged well in Ellis County, plugged December 14, 2012, last operated by Means Oil Company LLC.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued March 7, 1980, permitted to 800 ft.
It was permitted by B. J. Oil CO. Inc. and has since transferred to Means Oil Company LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Wolfe City.
Its lease has reported 875 barrels of oil and 94 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2015. The lease carries 5 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
Permitted by B. J. Oil Co. Inc.; the EWA schedule now lists a different operator.
