Ellwood I.L. #5 (API 42-431-31223) is a plugged well in Sterling County, plugged August 16, 1990, last operated by Fasken Barbara.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued September 20, 1982, permitted to 5,400 ft.
It was permitted by Oryx Energy Company and has since transferred to Fasken Barbara on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 1.24M barrels of oil and 87.7K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 37 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
