Fort Bend County · Blue Ridge field · Directional
Cities Service Fee #5 (API 42-157-31868) is a plugged well in Fort Bend County, plugged February 9, 2023, last operated by Blue Ridge Operating LLC.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued September 18, 1991, permitted to 5,000 ft.
It was permitted by ZK Petroleum CO., L.L.C. and has since transferred to Blue Ridge Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Vicksburg.
Its lease has reported 484K barrels of oil and 2.71K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 44 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
Permitted by ZK Petroleum Co., L.L.C.; the EWA schedule now lists a different operator.
