Upton -N- Fee #5 (API 42-461-33814) is a plugged well in Upton County, plugged October 13, 2023, last operated by Diamondback E&P LLC.

The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued July 3, 1997, permitted to 11,000 ft.

It was permitted by Stephens, Autry C. and has since transferred to Diamondback E&P LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 6 formation tops, including Spraberry, Upr. Sprby, Lwr. Sprby, Dean.

Its lease has reported 254K barrels of oil and 448K mcf of gas since December 1997, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

The sources disagree, which usually means a transfer or a lease-level production filing by a different entity. Petrora goes with the schedule.
