Brown James R. #5 (API 42-177-31515) is a plugged well in Gonzales County, plugged November 13, 2002, last operated by Harrier Holdings Ltd..
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued December 30, 1983, permitted to 2,300 ft.
It was permitted by Ruth Oil CO. and has since transferred to Harrier Holdings Ltd. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Carrizo.
Its lease has reported 44.7K barrels of oil and 168 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.
