Couey -A- #3 (API 42-173-31909) is a well in Glasscock County operated by Pioneer Natural Res. USA Inc., completed February 14, 1986 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule, shut in April 1, 2024.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued October 22, 1985, permitted to 8,300 ft.
It was permitted by Brown, Tom Inc. and has since transferred to Pioneer Natural Res. USA Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Spraberry, Dean, Wolfcamp.
Its lease has reported 120K barrels of oil and 1.3M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
