Glasscock County · Spraberry (Trend Area CL. Fk.) field · NO Production · Vertical
Bigby #3 (API 42-173-31957) is a well in Glasscock County operated by Q Natural Resources LLC, completed October 22, 1986 and listed as no production on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued August 19, 1986, permitted to 6,800 ft.
It was permitted by Trout Equipment Company and has since transferred to Q Natural Resources LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Clear Fork.
Its lease has reported 69.3K barrels of oil and 704K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
Permitted by Trout Equipment Company; the EWA schedule now lists a different operator.
