Janota #5
Gonzales County · Five Mile (Wilcox Upper) field · Vertical
Janota #5 (API 42-177-31557) is a plugged well in Gonzales County, plugged July 20, 2017, last operated by Centex Development.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued July 25, 1984, permitted to 4,500 ft.
It was permitted by Hagen-Greenbriar Expl. Corp. and has since transferred to Centex Development on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Wilcox.
Its 2 leases have reported 21.6K barrels of oil and 21 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 11 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
Permitted by Hagen-Greenbriar Expl. Corp.; the EWA schedule now lists a different operator.
