WELL · 42-483-30633 · DISTRICT 10
Rice #5
Wheeler County · Panhandle Wheeler County Field field · Vertical
Rice #5 (API 42-483-30633) is a well in Wheeler County operated by Kimbrel Oil Corporation, completed June 4, 1979.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1979 and 1999, permitted to 2,300 ft.
It was permitted by Prairie Energy Company and has since transferred to Kimbrel Oil Corporation on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 1.55K barrels of oil and 71.6K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 18 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
