Vacancy Strip -7- #3 (API 42-003-35112) is a well in Andrews County operated by Flat Top Operating LLC, completed October 4, 1985 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued August 29, 1985, permitted to 4,400 ft.
It was permitted by Wallen Production CO. and has since transferred to Flat Top Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 5 formation tops, including Alluvium, Red Bed, Yates, Seven Rivers.
Its lease has reported 102K barrels of oil and 20 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
