Three Bar Unit #53 (API 42-003-30108) is a well in Andrews County operated by Hilcorp Energy Company, completed January 6, 1970.

The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued May 30, 2013, permitted to 8,270 ft.

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

Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Sever Rivers, San Andres, Clear Fork.

Its 2 leases have reported 1.91M barrels of oil and 2.6M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 84 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
