Forman #5H
Wise County · Newark East (Barnett Shale) field · Producing · Horizontal
Forman #5H (API 42-497-35917) is a horizontal well in Wise County operated by Lime Rock Resources IV-A L.P., completed February 8, 2006 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule, shut in August 1, 2026.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued October 21, 2005, permitted to 10,523 ft.
It was permitted by Encana Oil & Gas(USA) Inc. and has since transferred to Lime Rock Resources IV-A L.P. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 5 formation tops, including Caddo, Detritus, Marble Falls, Barnett.
Its 3 leases have reported 65.4K barrels of oil and 2.91M mcf of gas since October 2005, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 6 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
