Vychopen A #3H
Burleson County · Caldwell (Austin Chalk) field · Shut IN · Horizontal
Vychopen A #3H (API 42-051-33402) is a horizontal well in Burleson County operated by Mag Exploration LLC, completed November 17, 1993 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued October 12, 1993, permitted to 8,600 ft.
It was permitted by Santa FE Energy Resources, Inc. and has since transferred to Mag Exploration LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Austin Chalk.
Its lease has reported 174K barrels of oil and 1.05M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 5 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
Permitted by Santa FE Energy Resources, Inc.; the EWA schedule now lists a different operator.
