Wilson County · Kaye (Navarro) field · Vertical
Willeford #5 (API 42-493-31039) is a plugged well in Wilson County, plugged August 11, 2022, last operated by Alcorn Energy L.L.C..
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued December 9, 1981, permitted to 2,700 ft.
It was permitted by Koch, I. Ernest and has since transferred to Alcorn Energy L.L.C. on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 10.7K barrels of oil and 5 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 7 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
