Roller GK #5
Wichita County · Wichita County Regular field · Shut IN · Vertical
Roller GK #5 (API 42-485-40533) is a well in Wichita County operated by Newport Operating LLC, completed August 30, 1985 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued July 5, 1985, permitted to 650 ft.
It was permitted by Cortez Oil, Inc. and has since transferred to Newport Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Permian (undifferentiated).
Its lease has reported 5.25K barrels of oil and 143 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 8 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
