Carlton 5a #398 (API 42-199-32509) is a plugged well in Hardin County, plugged July 28, 2005, last operated by Slatex Well Service Inc..
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued November 23, 1988, permitted to 1,500 ft.
It was permitted by Ada Belle Oil CO. and has since transferred to Slatex Well Service Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Miocene (undifferentiated).
Its lease has reported 3.24K barrels of oil and 29 mcf of gas 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 Ada Belle Oil Co.; the EWA schedule now lists a different operator.
