Bayou Development B #3
Galveston County · Dickinson (Frio Cons.) field · Temp Abandoned · Vertical
Bayou Development B #3 (API 42-167-01028) is a well in Galveston County operated by Columbus Energy LLC, completed April 15, 2008 and listed as temp abandoned on the RRC schedule, shut in June 1, 2008.
The RRC has issued 6 drilling permits (amended once) between 1978 and 2002, permitted to 9,697 ft.
It was permitted by Kcs Resources, Inc. and has since transferred to Columbus Energy LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Frio.
Its 4 leases have reported 159 barrels of oil and 200K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
Permitted by KCS Resources, Inc.; the EWA schedule now lists a different operator.
