Ector County · TXL (Tubb) field · Vertical
Thomas -E- #3 (API 42-135-06978) is a well in Ector County operated by Oxy USA Wtp Eor LLC, completed October 9, 1988.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1988 and 1992, permitted to 8,072 ft.
It was permitted by Oxy USA Inc. and has since transferred to Oxy USA Wtp Eor LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Tubb.
Its 5 leases have reported 163K barrels of oil and 196K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 7 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
