Rollow #5 (API 42-317-32930) is a plugged well in Martin County, plugged February 7, 1999, last operated by Merit Energy Company.

The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued May 8, 1984, permitted to 9,600 ft.

It was permitted by Lewis & Atkins Oil & Gas, Inc. and has since transferred to Merit Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including Spraberry, Jo Mill, Dean, Wolfcamp.

Its lease has reported 12.3K barrels of oil and 21.7K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in March 2005. The lease carries 6 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
