Simms #5 (API 42-455-30494) is a well in Trinity County operated by HD Operating CO LLC, completed November 29, 2017 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued June 7, 2007, permitted to 2,000 ft.
It was permitted by Range Production Company and has since transferred to HD Operating CO LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Queen City, Carrizo, Massive Wilcox.
Its lease has reported 210K barrels of oil and 20.2K mcf of gas since November 2003, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
