Clark #5 (API 42-441-34241) is a plugged well in Taylor County, plugged June 6, 2025, last operated by Sojourner Drilling Corporation.

The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued July 16, 2008, permitted to 4,500 ft.

It was permitted by Ventex Operating Corp. and has since transferred to Sojourner Drilling Corporation on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 2 formation tops, including Swastika, Canyon.

Its lease has reported 37.9K barrels of oil and 5.61K mcf of gas since September 1996, last reporting in August 2025. The lease carries 5 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.
