Slick #5351 (API 42-427-32403) is a plugged well in Starr County, plugged August 30, 2022, last operated by Samson Lone Star LP.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits (amended once) between 1990 and 1998, permitted to 8,000 ft.
It was permitted by Texas Independent Explor., Inc. and has since transferred to Samson Lone Star LP on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 2 formation tops, including Vicksburg, Frost, W.(Orive Sand).
Its 5 leases have reported 7.54K barrels of oil and 913K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 5 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
