Bustamante Gas Unit 1 #5 (API 42-505-32968) is a well in Zapata County operated by Hilcorp Energy Company, completed July 23, 2008 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.

The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits (amended once) between 1992 and 2008, permitted to 14,450 ft.

It was permitted by Forest Oil Corporation and has since transferred to Hilcorp Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Wilcox, B/Wilcox, Wills Point.

Its 2 leases have reported 300 barrels of oil and 5.86M mcf of gas since March 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

The sources disagree, which usually means a transfer or a lease-level production filing by a different entity. Petrora goes with the schedule.
