Newton 43B #5HK
Howard County · Spraberry (Trend Area) field · Horizontal
Newton 43b #5HK (API 42-227-39271) is a horizontal well in Howard County operated by Ovintiv USA Inc., completed September 3, 2018.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits (amended once) between 2017 and 2019, permitted to 8,900 ft.
It was permitted by Encana Oil & Gas(USA) Inc. and has since transferred to Ovintiv USA Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 11 formation tops, including Yates, San Andres, Clear Fork, Spraberry.
Its 2 leases have reported 674K barrels of oil and 1.83M mcf of gas since September 2018, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 5 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
