Mccabe J.F.-A- #5 (API 42-335-31310) is a well in Mitchell County operated by SD Royale Energy Inc., completed May 19, 1994 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1978 and 1994, permitted to 7,233 ft.
It was permitted by Merit Energy Company and has since transferred to SD Royale Energy Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Strawn, Odom, Ellenburger.
Its 2 leases have reported 122K barrels of oil and 241K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 15 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
