Gaston L. W. #5 (API 42-455-30472) is a well in Trinity County operated by HD Operating CO LLC, completed May 20, 2003 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued April 7, 2003, permitted to 2,022 ft.
It was permitted by Range Production Company and has since transferred to HD Operating CO LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including Weches, Queen City, Recklaw, Carrizo.
Its lease has reported 147K barrels of oil and 184K mcf of gas since February 1996, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 5 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
