Fowler E. L. 302 #5 (API 42-467-00726) is a plugged well in Van Zandt County, plugged December 29, 2007, last operated by Union Oil Company Of California.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued November 16, 1990, permitted to 2,900 ft.
It was permitted by Unocal Exploration Corporation and has since transferred to Union Oil Company Of California on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 7.6M barrels of oil and 5.46M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The leases carry 207 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
