Crockett County · Holt Ranch (Consolidated) field · Temp Abandoned · Vertical
Trap O. B. #3 (API 42-105-35540) is a well in Crockett County operated by Av3 Resources LLC, completed January 13, 1999 and listed as temp abandoned on the RRC schedule, shut in September 1, 2023.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1988 and 1999, permitted to 7,970 ft.
It was permitted by Prime Operating Company and has since transferred to Av3 Resources LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 8 formation tops, including Queen, San Andres, Clear Fork, Spraberry.
Its 2 leases have reported 50.8K barrels of oil and 227K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
