Connell W.E. Nct-3 #57 (API 42-135-01440) is a well in Ector County operated by Chevron U. S. A. Inc., completed November 22, 1995.
The RRC has issued 3 drilling permits between 1995 and 2014, permitted to 8,900 ft.
It was permitted by Cross Timbers Energy, LLC and has since transferred to Chevron U. S. A. Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 13 formation tops, including Santa Rosa, Yates, Queen, San Andres.
Its 4 leases have reported 7.16M barrels of oil and 2.57M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 300 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
