Hodge E. J. #5 (API 42-457-30434) is a well in Tyler County operated by Neches Transport Inc., completed October 25, 1989 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued February 14, 1989, permitted to 4,950 ft.
It was permitted by North Texas Oil Exploration, Inc and has since transferred to Neches Transport Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Cockfield (A-1), Cockfield (A-3), Cockfield (A-5).
Its lease has reported 74.5K barrels of oil and 83 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
