Thunderbird Unit #5H (API 42-255-32781) is a horizontal well in Karnes County operated by Devon Energy Production CO L.P., completed November 12, 2013 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued September 25, 2012, permitted to 13,500 ft.
It was permitted by Plains Exploration & Prod. CO. and has since transferred to Devon Energy Production CO L.P. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Anacacho, Austin Chalk, Eagle Ford.
Its lease has reported 2.6M barrels of oil and 2.67M mcf of gas since May 2012, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 10 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
