Matador #5
Motley County · Matador (Wolfcamp) field · Shut IN · Vertical
Matador #5 (API 42-345-30278) is a well in Motley County operated by Sutherland Energy CO. LLC, completed July 10, 1995 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued May 26, 1995, permitted to 3,500 ft.
It was permitted by P. L. O. and has since transferred to Sutherland Energy CO. LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Wolfcamp.
Its lease has reported 342K barrels of oil and 16 mcf of gas since August 1994, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 8 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
Permitted by P. L. O.; the EWA schedule now lists a different operator.
