Milam County · Minerva-Rockdale field · Vertical
Menke #5 (API 42-331-31158) is a plugged well in Milam County, plugged September 11, 2013, last operated by Viejo Services LLC.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued August 24, 1981, permitted to 1,200 ft.
It was permitted by Aries Oil Corp. and has since transferred to Viejo Services LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 1.99K barrels of oil and 17 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 9 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
