Spence Elizabeth #5 (API 42-423-31254) is a well in Smith County operated by Gunn Oil Company, completed May 4, 1990.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended twice), issued March 5, 1990, permitted to 7,500 ft.
It was permitted by Palrich Oil Corporation and has since transferred to Gunn Oil Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 6 formation tops, including B/Austin Chalk, T/Woodbine, T/Goodland Lm., B/Goodland.
Its 2 leases have reported 799K barrels of oil and 614K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 18 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
