Avant J.R. #5
Frio County · Pearsall (Austin Chalk) field · Horizontal
Avant J.R. #5 (API 42-163-33163) is a plugged horizontal well in Frio County, plugged December 2, 2020, last operated by Trinity Operating (Usg) LLC.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued August 19, 1993, permitted to 7,000 ft.
It was permitted by Oryx Energy Company and has since transferred to Trinity Operating (Usg) LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Austin Chalk, 1st Lime, Anacacho.
Its lease has reported 605K barrels of oil and 386K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in January 2026. The lease carries 9 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
