Couch Estate #3 (API 42-105-35621) is a well in Crockett County operated by Scout Energy Management LLC, completed November 15, 2002 and listed as temp abandoned on the RRC schedule, shut in September 1, 2025.

The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1989 and 2002, permitted to 9,395 ft.

It was permitted by Anadarko E&P Company LP and has since transferred to Scout Energy Management LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 9 formation tops, including San Andres, Bse/Mid/Wlfcmp/Ls, Wolfcamp, Canyon.

Its 2 leases have reported 17 barrels of oil and 118K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in August 2025. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

The sources disagree, which usually means a transfer or a lease-level production filing by a different entity. Petrora goes with the schedule.
