Glasscock County · Spraberry (Trend Area) field · Vertical
Lane W. H. 40a #3 (API 42-173-30977) is a plugged well in Glasscock County, plugged July 5, 2011, last operated by Diamondback E&P LLC.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued March 28, 1979, permitted to 8,550 ft.
It was permitted by Hanley Company and has since transferred to Diamondback E&P LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 305K barrels of oil and 1.24M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 5 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
