Liberty County · Hull field · Producing · Vertical
Abel #5X (API 42-291-32697) is a well in Liberty County operated by Saratoga Production Company LLC, completed July 30, 2007 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued February 20, 2007, permitted to 2,000 ft.
It was permitted by Bhb Operating Inc. and has since transferred to Saratoga Production Company LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 42.5K barrels of oil and 16 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 9 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
