Jones #5
Midland County · Brazos (San Andres) field · Producing · Vertical
Jones #5 (API 42-329-31904) is a well in Midland County operated by Flat Top Operating LLC, completed October 24, 1987 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued September 9, 1987, permitted to 4,450 ft.
It was permitted by Southland Royalty Company and has since transferred to Flat Top Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including Yates, Queen, Grayburg, San Andres.
Its lease has reported 563K barrels of oil and 1.12K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in March 2026. The lease carries 6 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
