Howell Lease #1 #5
Guadalupe County · LA Vernia (Austin Chalk) field · Producing · Vertical
Howell Lease #1 #5 (API 42-187-33219) is a well in Guadalupe County operated by Howell Crane & Rigging Inc., completed November 9, 1987 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued June 23, 1987, permitted to 2,400 ft.
It was permitted by J.N.J. Energy and has since transferred to Howell Crane & Rigging Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 2 formation tops, including Green Sand, Taylor.
Its lease has reported 6.78K barrels of oil since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
Permitted by J.N.J. Energy; the EWA schedule now lists a different operator.
