Hardy Gus -A- #A3 (API 42-055-31501) is a well in Caldwell County operated by Kingwood Oil Company, completed August 28, 1980.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued July 9, 1980, permitted to 2,800 ft.
It was permitted by Skidmore Oil CO. and has since transferred to Kingwood Oil Company on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 37.2K barrels of oil and 8.1K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 13 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
