Higginbotham A #5H (API 42-501-36400) is a horizontal well in Yoakum County operated by Burk Royalty CO. Ltd., completed September 26, 2014 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued April 25, 2014, permitted to 5,209 ft.
It was permitted by Walsh Petroleum, Inc. and has since transferred to Burk Royalty CO. Ltd. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 9 formation tops, including Clear Fork, Devonian, Glorieta, Leonard.
Its lease has reported 1.05M barrels of oil and 4.05M mcf of gas since December 2010, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 9 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
