Frio County · Pearsall (Austin Chalk) field · Producing · Horizontal · Sidetrack
Jones Newt #5 (API 42-163-31932) is a horizontal well in Frio County operated by Frio Oil & Gas Ltd., completed December 1, 1989 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1981 and 1989, permitted to 7,600 ft.
It was permitted by Hughey, W. R., Operating CO. and has since transferred to Frio Oil & Gas Ltd. on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 51.7K barrels of oil and 2.81K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 5 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
