Dicus F. G. (Duke) #5 (API 42-225-30720) is a plugged well in Houston County, plugged November 21, 1996, last operated by A.O.E. Operators Inc..
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued March 5, 1987, permitted to 1,800 ft.
It was permitted by C & D Petroleum Exploration, Inc and has since transferred to A.O.E. Operators Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 2 formation tops, including Carrizo, Wilcox.
Its lease has reported 29.3K barrels of oil and 34 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in January 2025. The lease carries 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
