Scull C. E. #5 (API 42-493-31618) is a plugged well in Wilson County, plugged March 31, 2026, last operated by Petrosaurus Inc..
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued September 24, 1984, permitted to 1,800 ft.
It was permitted by Adela Oil and has since transferred to Petrosaurus Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including Wilcox, Poth Sand, Green Sand, Navarro.
Its lease has reported 16.4K barrels of oil and 21 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 17 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
