Holt O. B. A #3 (API 42-135-37894) is a well in Ector County operated by Ernmar Investments Inc., completed January 5, 2001 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued October 13, 2000, permitted to 5,900 ft.
It was permitted by Fasken Oil And Ranch, Ltd. and has since transferred to Ernmar Investments Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 6 formation tops, including Rustler, Yates, Queen, Grayburg.
Its lease has reported 52.5K barrels of oil and 12.6K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
