Foster W. L. #5 #10W (API 42-335-31343) is a plugged well in Mitchell County, plugged May 19, 2025, last operated by Bce-Mach Iii LLC.

The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1978 and 2009, permitted to 3,100 ft.

It was permitted by Energen Resources Corporation and has since transferred to Bce-Mach Iii LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 5 formation tops, including Queen, Grayburg, San Andres, Glorieta.

Its lease has reported 992K barrels of oil and 165K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 29 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
