Woody Houston #5
Martin County · Spraberry (Trend Area) field · Shut IN · Vertical
Woody Houston #5 (API 42-317-40578) is a well in Martin County operated by Pioneer Natural Res. USA Inc., completed December 14, 2016 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued October 27, 2016, permitted to 12,000 ft.
It was permitted by JM Cox Resources, L.P. and has since transferred to Pioneer Natural Res. USA Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 10 formation tops, including Santa Rosa, Yates, Queen, Grayburg.
Its lease has reported 120K barrels of oil and 350K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 5 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
