West Taylor #3 (API 42-083-35951) is a well in Coleman County operated by Novco Operating Company, completed November 21, 2011.

The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits (amended once) between 2011 and 2019, permitted to 4,800 ft.

It was permitted by Taylor Operating Company and has since transferred to Novco Operating Company on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 16 formation tops, including Crosscut Upper - Disposal, Coleman Junction, Winchell Lime - Disposal, Palo Pinto.

Its 2 leases have reported 14.9K barrels of oil and 67.4K mcf of gas since September 2011, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 8 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
