Bear E.W. #5
Wichita County · Wichita County Regular field · Vertical
Bear E.W. #5 (API 42-485-38228) is a plugged well in Wichita County, plugged May 15, 2001, last operated by Dutton Bill.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued April 16, 1982, permitted to 700 ft.
It was permitted by Mowrey, S. L. and has since transferred to Dutton Bill on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Tannehill.
Its lease has reported 7.3K barrels of oil and 50 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 20 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
Permitted by Mowrey, S. L.; the EWA schedule now lists a different operator.
