Nueces County · Riverside (5900) field · Vertical
Thompson J.A. #5 (API 42-355-00778) is a plugged well in Nueces County, plugged April 18, 2005, last operated by Tema Oil And Gas Company.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued March 22, 1984, permitted to 6,603 ft.
It was permitted by Houston Oil Fields CO. and has since transferred to Tema Oil And Gas Company on the wellbore schedule.
Its 3 leases have reported 30K barrels of oil and 122K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in May 2005. The leases carry 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
