Keystone Cattle CO. #5 (API 42-495-31415) is a well in Winkler County operated by Formentera Operations LLC, completed December 4, 1981 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule, shut in July 1, 2018.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued October 5, 1981, permitted to 5,015 ft.
It was permitted by Wood, Mcshane & Thams and has since transferred to Formentera Operations LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 58.5K barrels of oil and 507K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 10 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
