Lopez Hector #3 (API 42-047-30912) is a plugged well in Brooks County, plugged October 15, 2007, last operated by Wynn-Crosby Energy Inc..
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued December 12, 1980, permitted to 12,600 ft.
It was permitted by Shell Oil Company and has since transferred to Wynn-Crosby Energy Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Its 3 leases have reported 1.83K barrels of oil and 181K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in October 2007. The leases carry 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
