WELL · 42-409-32970 · DISTRICT 4
Jostes #5
San Patricio County · Mathis North (2780) field · Shut IN · Vertical
Jostes #5 (API 42-409-32970) is a well in San Patricio County operated by Sun Exploration Inc., completed May 19, 2012 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued December 9, 2011, permitted to 3,300 ft.
It was permitted by Mortimer Production Company and has since transferred to Sun Exploration Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Het 1.
Its lease has reported 76.5K barrels of oil and 2.3K mcf of gas since April 2003, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
Permitted by Mortimer Production Company; the EWA schedule now lists a different operator.
