Rudd A #3
Gaines County · Robertson N. (Clear Fork 7100) field · Producing · Vertical
Rudd A #3 (API 42-165-36708) is a well in Gaines County operated by Bce-Mach Iii LLC, completed April 18, 2007 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued December 20, 2006, permitted to 7,434 ft.
It was permitted by Energen Resources Corporation and has since transferred to Bce-Mach Iii LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 5 formation tops, including Yates, San Andres, Glorieta, Clear Fork.
Its lease has reported 328K barrels of oil and 237K mcf of gas since June 2006, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 10 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

Well logs
1 log loaded from the RRC's log index, the latest received Aug 7, 2007. Density, Gamma ray, Neutron. These are the logs loaded into Petrora from the Railroad Commission's inventories, not necessarily every log run on the well. The RRC holds the files; each opens from its log search for the well. The kind is the RRC's description of the log; the interval is the one filed for it.

"Spans" is by this well's own filed formation tops: a formation runs from its top to the next deeper top filed, and the deepest runs to the bottom of the log. Depths are measured along the wellbore, so on a horizontal the lateral counts in the formation it was landed in.
