E. R. Compton #5 (API 42-441-32007) is a plugged well in Taylor County, plugged September 16, 2025, last operated by Amherst Energy Holdings LLC.

The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued September 18, 1981, permitted to 1,800 ft.

It was permitted by Chaparral Minerals, Inc. and has since transferred to Amherst Energy Holdings LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report one formation top, including Flippen Lime.

Its lease has reported 105K barrels of oil and 23.3K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 10 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

The sources disagree, which usually means a transfer or a lease-level production filing by a different entity. Petrora goes with the schedule.
