Eckhardt #5 (API 42-349-33853) is a plugged well in Navarro County, plugged August 4, 2016, last operated by Shwj Oil & Gas CO. Inc..

The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued December 17, 1984, permitted to 3,300 ft.

It was permitted by Alliance Resources and has since transferred to Shwj Oil & Gas CO. Inc. on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Nacatosh, Austin Chalk, Woodbine.

Its lease has reported 6.35K barrels of oil and 28 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
