Tyler County · Ramers Island S. (Wilcox 8180) field · Producing · Vertical
Arco-Cushing #5 (API 42-457-30311) is a well in Tyler County operated by Neches Transport Inc., completed October 3, 1978 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued August 29, 1978, permitted to 900 ft.
It was permitted by Vann, J. R. and has since transferred to Neches Transport Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 174K barrels of oil and 35 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 5 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
