Rauschhuber #3
Frio County · Big Foot field · Shut IN · Vertical
Rauschhuber #3 (API 42-163-32378) is a well in Frio County operated by Benchmark Texas Petroleum LLC., completed February 9, 1985 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued November 1, 1984, permitted to 4,100 ft.
It was permitted by C&C II and has since transferred to Benchmark Texas Petroleum LLC. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Olmos.
Its lease has reported 21.2K barrels of oil and 20 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 6 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
