Buchanan Gas Unit #5 (API 42-215-33059) is a well in Hidalgo County operated by Wagner Oil Company, completed January 16, 2005 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.

The RRC has issued 6 drilling permits between 2002 and 2004, permitted to 7,400 ft.

It was permitted by BP America Production Company and has since transferred to Wagner Oil Company on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Frio, Swallow, Jancik.

Its 5 leases have reported 557 barrels of oil and 1.18M mcf of gas since January 2003, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 5 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.
