Mobil Arco B #3 (API 42-165-34930) is a well in Gaines County operated by Retriever Operating LLC, completed February 11, 1996 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued December 6, 1995, permitted to 5,000 ft.
It was permitted by Remuda Operating Company and has since transferred to Retriever Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 2 formation tops, including Grayburg, San Andres.
Its lease has reported 136K barrels of oil and 116 mcf of gas since May 1995, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
