Moss-Malone #5 (API 42-313-30454) is a well in Madison County operated by Contango Resources LLC, completed May 24, 1988.

The RRC has issued 4 drilling permits between 1983 and 2001, permitted to 9,550 ft.

It was permitted by Setex Oil And Gas Company and has since transferred to Contango Resources LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 6 formation tops, including Austin Chalk, T/Austin Chalk, B/Austin Chalk, Woodbine.

Its 3 leases have reported 19.6K barrels of oil and 313K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 5 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

The sources disagree, which usually means a transfer or a lease-level production filing by a different entity. Petrora goes with the schedule.
