Andrews County · Fuhrman-Mascho field · Shut In · Vertical
Nix 20 Lzs #3 (API 42-003-43969) is a well in Andrews County operated by Montare Operating Ltd., completed April 24, 2012 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule, shut in August 1, 2014.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued February 22, 2012, permitted to 4,879 ft.
It was permitted by Sandridge Expl. And Prod., LLC and has since transferred to Montare Operating Ltd. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Grayburg, Fuhrman Sand, San Andres.
Its lease has reported 53.9K barrels of oil and 67.7K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 10 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

Well logs
1 log loaded from the RRC's log index, the latest received Mar 16, 2015. Neutron. 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.
