Sullivan Ben A #3
Brown County · Janellen (Caddo) field · Vertical
Sullivan Ben A #3 (API 42-049-30655) is a plugged well in Brown County, plugged December 14, 2006, last operated by Cei Operating LLC.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued August 16, 1989, permitted to 2,000 ft.
It was permitted by Win Energy Inc. and has since transferred to Cei Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Caddo.
Its 2 leases have reported 726 barrels of oil and 5.15K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 11 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
Permitted by Win Energy Inc.; the EWA schedule now lists a different operator.
