Lawson -A- #5 (API 42-329-33066) is a plugged well in Midland County, plugged January 18, 2004, last operated by Pitts Energy CO..

The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued June 20, 1994, permitted to 9,300 ft.

It was permitted by Snyder Oil Corporation and has since transferred to Pitts Energy CO. on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 2 formation tops, including Spraberry, Dean.

Its lease has reported 68.2K barrels of oil and 150K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in October 2004. The lease carries 5 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
