Harris County · Goose Creek field · Vertical
Tabb B #5 (API 42-201-32116) is a plugged well in Harris County, plugged May 10, 2016, last operated by Gaither Petroleum Corporation.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued December 9, 1987, permitted to 4,000 ft.
It was permitted by Geotech Energy Corp. and has since transferred to Gaither Petroleum Corporation on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Miocene (undifferentiated).
Its lease has reported 241K barrels of oil and 21 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 Geotech Energy Corp.; the EWA schedule now lists a different operator.
