Gutierrez J. M. B #5
Zapata County · Roleta (Wilcox Consolidated) field · Temp Abandoned · Vertical
Gutierrez J. M. B #5 (API 42-505-36406) is a well in Zapata County operated by Varas Energy Operating Company, completed December 12, 2009 and listed as temp abandoned on the RRC schedule, shut in October 1, 2023.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued March 13, 2009, permitted to 11,000 ft.
It was permitted by Eog Resources, Inc. and has since transferred to Varas Energy Operating Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Wilcox.
Its 2 leases have reported 336 barrels of oil and 24.3K mcf of gas since July 2009, last reporting volume in September 2023. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

Well logs
1 log loaded from the RRC's log index, the latest received Sep 27, 2012. Density, Neutron, Resistivity. These are the logs loaded into Petrora from the Railroad Commission's inventories, not necessarily every log run on the well. The RRC holds the files; each opens from its log search for the well. The kind is the RRC's description of the log; the interval is the one filed for it.

"Spans" is by this well's own filed formation tops: a formation runs from its top to the next deeper top filed, and the deepest runs to the bottom of the log. Depths are measured along the wellbore, so on a horizontal the lateral counts in the formation it was landed in.
