Rodriguez Gas Unit #5 (API 42-505-33097) is a well in Zapata County operated by Hilcorp Energy Company, completed January 5, 1994 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued September 27, 1993, permitted to 14,400 ft.
It was permitted by Transtexas Gas Corporation and has since transferred to Hilcorp Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including T/Wilcox, B/Wilcox, Wills Point.
Its 2 leases have reported 234 barrels of oil and 7.4M mcf of gas since January 1994, last reporting volume in August 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

Surface location
No coordinates on the permit record yet. The RRC's GIS record usually lands within days of issuance; historical master-file permits never carry one.

Every well with a location on file around this well, in any state, nearest first.
Texas locations come from drilling permits, so most older Texas wells have none and are not listed.
