Wilson County · Marcelina Creek (Buda) field · Horizontal
Eschenburg #5H (API 42-493-32092) is a horizontal well in Wilson County operated by Cei Operating LLC, completed October 29, 1998.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits (amended once) between 1988 and 1998, permitted to 9,000 ft.
It was permitted by Pedeco, Inc. and has since transferred to Cei Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 6 formation tops, including Olmos, Anacacho, Austin Chalk, Eagle Ford.
Its 3 leases have reported 31.7K barrels of oil and 192 mcf of gas since October 1998, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
