Gray County · Hoover NE (Granite Wash) field · Vertical
Ruth 23 #5 (API 42-179-32223) is a well in Gray County operated by Newfield Expl. Mid-Con. Inc, completed May 17, 2003.
The RRC has issued 3 drilling permits between 1996 and 2022, permitted to 9,200 ft.
It was permitted by Seek Energy, LLC and has since transferred to Newfield Expl. Mid-Con. Inc on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 8 formation tops, including Panhandle Lime, Pan Lm, Pan Lm., Granite Wash.
Its 4 leases have reported 188K barrels of oil and 2.35M mcf of gas since February 1997, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 6 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
