Austin County · Raccoon Bend (Grawunder) field · Producing · Vertical
Herman #3 (API 42-015-30671) is a well in Austin County operated by Bear Creek Energy LLC, completed September 22, 1995 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued January 9, 1995, permitted to 4,200 ft.
It was permitted by Shamrock Oil CO. and has since transferred to Bear Creek Energy LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 2 formation tops, including Miocene (undifferentiated), Jackson.
Its lease has reported 74K barrels of oil and 11 mcf of gas since September 1995, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
