WELL · 42-315-30588 · DISTRICT 6
Braden #5
Marion County · Rodessa (Travis Peak) field · Vertical
Braden #5 (API 42-315-30588) is a well in Marion County operated by Ocean Energy Inc., completed January 9, 1987.
The RRC has issued 4 drilling permits (amended once) between 1981 and 2001, permitted to 10,500 ft.
It was permitted by Nadel And Gussman, L.L.C. and has since transferred to Ocean Energy Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Its 3 leases have reported 3.83K barrels of oil and 76.1K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
Permitted by Nadel and Gussman, L.L.C.; the EWA schedule now lists a different operator.
