The Colonel 25-36 #5DN
Howard County · Spraberry (Trend Area) field · Producing · Horizontal
The Colonel 25-36 #5DN (API 42-227-42587) is a horizontal well in Howard County operated by Crescent Energy Operating LLC, completed May 19, 2025 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued September 3, 2024, permitted to 9,000 ft.
It was permitted by Vital Energy, Inc. and has since transferred to Crescent Energy Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 10 formation tops, including Santa Rosa, Rustler, Yates, Seven Rivers.
Its lease has reported 888K barrels of oil and 925K mcf of gas since October 2017, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 5 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
