Dimmit County · Briscoe Ranch (Eagleford) field · Shut IN · Horizontal
Big Wells South Unit 16 Dim #E 3H (API 42-127-37298) is a horizontal well in Dimmit County operated by Ineos USA Oil & Gas LLC, completed January 28, 2017 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued April 27, 2016, permitted to 9,000 ft.
It was permitted by Chesapeake Operating, L.L.C. and has since transferred to Ineos USA Oil & Gas LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 10 formation tops, including Escondido, Olmos, San Miguel, Anacacho.
Its lease has reported 446K barrels of oil and 1.28M mcf of gas since October 2016, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
