Howard County · Spraberry (Trend Area) field · Producing · Horizontal
Wright Unit 40-33 #5H (API 42-227-38213) is a horizontal well in Howard County operated by Apache Corporation, completed April 15, 2015 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued August 22, 2014, permitted to 10,000 ft.
It was permitted by Element Petro Operating II, LLC and has since transferred to Apache Corporation on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 8 formation tops, including Yates, Seven Rivers, San Andres, Clear Fork.
Its lease has reported 1.13M barrels of oil and 2.46M mcf of gas since April 2015, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 6 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
