Bill C. #5A (API 42-503-35465) is a plugged well in Young County, plugged May 15, 2014, last operated by Blackhole Energy CO..
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued November 17, 1981, permitted to 1,000 ft.
It was permitted by Natural Petroleum Company and has since transferred to Blackhole Energy CO. on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 316 barrels of oil and 8 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
Permitted by Natural Petroleum Company; the EWA schedule now lists a different operator.
