Caughey Earl #5 (API 42-181-31228) is a well in Grayson County operated by Jetta Operating Company Inc., completed January 4, 1990 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued November 10, 1989, permitted to 8,500 ft.
It was permitted by Hondo Oil & Gas Company Delaware and has since transferred to Jetta Operating Company Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 5 formation tops, including Dornick Hills, Baker Zones, Atoka, Davis Sand.
Its lease has reported 21.3K barrels of oil and 72.5K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
