Knape #3 #3RE (API 42-149-32897) is a horizontal well in Fayette County operated by Ineos USA Oil & Gas LLC, completed February 18, 2004.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits (amended once) between 1994 and 2004, permitted to 11,500 ft.
It was permitted by Anadarko E&P Company LP and has since transferred to Ineos USA Oil & Gas LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Its 2 leases have reported 71.1K barrels of oil and 502K mcf of gas since July 1994, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
