Bigby -B- #3 (API 42-173-37270) is a well in Glasscock County operated by Pioneer Natural Res. USA Inc., completed February 26, 2016 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued October 6, 2015, permitted to 12,000 ft.
It was permitted by JM Cox Resources, L.P. and has since transferred to Pioneer Natural Res. USA Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 10 formation tops, including Santa Rosa, Yates, Seven Rivers, Queen.
Its lease has reported 80.2K barrels of oil and 126K 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.
