Books E. C. #5 (API 42-173-32208) is a well in Glasscock County operated by Hunt Oil Company, completed November 20, 1992.

The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits (amended twice) between 1992 and 2000, permitted to 9,000 ft.

It was permitted by Concho Resources Inc. and has since transferred to Hunt Oil Company on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 5 formation tops, including U. Spraberry, L. Spraberry, Jo Mill, Dean.

Its 2 leases have reported 348K barrels of oil and 3.29M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 10 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

The sources disagree, which usually means a transfer or a lease-level production filing by a different entity. Petrora goes with the schedule.
