Arco University #3 (API 42-003-32655) is a well in Andrews County operated by Wtg Exploration, completed May 21, 1981.

The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued March 2, 1981, permitted to 8,500 ft.

It was permitted by Huff, Jack and has since transferred to Wtg Exploration on the wellbore schedule.

Its 2 leases have reported 93.4K barrels of oil and 248K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 4 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.
