Reeves County · Waha West (6250) field · Vertical
Trees, J. C. Estate ET AL #5 (API 42-389-10535) is a well in Reeves County operated by Gulf Oil Corp., completed July 1, 1968.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued September 13, 1993, permitted to 5,750 ft.
It was permitted by Chevron U. S. A. Inc. and has since transferred to Gulf Oil Corp. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 5 formation tops, including Rotary Dr Bush To Grd, Red Bed Anhydrite, Anhydrite Lime, Anhydrite Salt.
Its 3 leases have reported 172K barrels of oil and 2.19M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 12 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
