Cerf James #5 (API 42-349-33845) is a well in Navarro County operated by Thurston Texas Operating CO LLC, completed January 16, 1986.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued November 29, 1984, permitted to 2,500 ft.
It was permitted by Cougar Production Corp. and has since transferred to Thurston Texas Operating CO LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Nacatoch.
Its 2 leases have reported 97.9K barrels of oil and 22.6K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 28 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
