Los Ninos #5 (API 42-451-32368) is a plugged well in Tom Green County, plugged September 27, 2001, last operated by Elco Oil & Gas Inc..

The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued December 16, 1996, permitted to 1,500 ft.

It was permitted by Elco Oil & Gas and has since transferred to Elco Oil & Gas Inc. on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 2 formation tops, including San Andres, Clkfk.

Its lease has reported 29K barrels of oil and 213 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 7 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
