Powell E.L. #5 (API 42-173-31889) is a plugged well in Glasscock County, plugged July 1, 1993, last operated by Oxy USA Inc..
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued August 15, 1985, permitted to 8,900 ft.
It was permitted by Amoco Production Company and has since transferred to Oxy USA Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 5 formation tops, including Rustler, Yates, San Andres, Dean.
Its lease has reported 77.1K barrels of oil and 213K mcf of gas since January 1993, with no volume in the three years through April 2026. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
