Ellis R. R. #5 (API 42-409-03775) is a plugged well in San Patricio County, plugged October 25, 2017, last operated by Wagner Oil Company.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued June 29, 1995, permitted to 5,445 ft.
It was permitted by Smith Production Inc. and has since transferred to Wagner Oil Company on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 89.6K barrels of oil and 385K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in October 2017. The leases carry 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
