Rausch #3
Callahan County · J. K. Wadley field · Shut IN · Vertical
Rausch #3 (API 42-059-82248) is a well in Callahan County operated by 3 S Production Inc., completed December 22, 1981 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued August 27, 1981, permitted to 2,000 ft.
It was permitted by Denman Production Inc. and has since transferred to 3 S Production Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 21.7K barrels of oil and 32 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
