Mitchell County · Iatan East Howard field · Producing · Vertical
Foster W. L. #5 #17R (API 42-335-32464) is a well in Mitchell County operated by Bce-Mach Iii LLC, completed July 1, 2008 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued 3 drilling permits between 1982 and 1994, permitted to 2,950 ft.
It was permitted by Chevron U. S. A. Inc. and has since transferred to Bce-Mach Iii LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 6 formation tops, including Yates, Queen, Grayburg, San Andres.
Its lease has reported 992K barrels of oil and 165K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 29 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
