Jones 23-7 #5 (API 42-165-35008) is a well in Gaines County operated by Whitehawk Production Company, completed October 7, 1996.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued May 31, 1996, permitted to 3,500 ft.
It was permitted by Minihan Oil & Gas Corporation and has since transferred to Whitehawk Production Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Yates.
Its 2 leases have reported 16.8K barrels of oil and 126K mcf of gas since September 1996, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 15 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
