Vanguard #5 (API 42-199-33416) is a well in Hardin County operated by Silverbrook Operating LLC, completed February 14, 2013.

The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued January 25, 2013, permitted to 2,800 ft.

It was permitted by Traton Operating Company and has since transferred to Silverbrook Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report one formation top, including Miocene (undifferentiated).

Its 3 leases have reported 109K barrels of oil and 55 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 13 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

The sources disagree, which usually means a transfer or a lease-level production filing by a different entity. Petrora goes with the schedule.
