Horton E. L. #B-5 (API 42-275-30614) is a plugged well in Knox County, plugged September 16, 2004, last operated by Kintex Petroleum Company.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued October 27, 1977, permitted to 1,850 ft.
It was permitted by Ausanka Oil Operations and has since transferred to Kintex Petroleum Company on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 8.16K barrels of oil and 57 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in March 2008. The lease carries 7 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
