Josey L. #5 (API 42-201-32256) is a plugged well in Harris County, plugged February 26, 2011, last operated by Hamman Oil & Refining Company.
The RRC has issued 3 drilling permits between 1991 and 2001, permitted to 7,000 ft.
It was permitted by Dreyfus, Louis Natural Gas Corp and has since transferred to Hamman Oil & Refining Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Yegua.
Its 2 leases have reported 251K barrels of oil and 628K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in February 2018. The leases carry 5 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
