Bowers -A & C- #3 (API 42-179-31685) is a well in Gray County operated by Petco Energy Corporation, completed April 9, 1985.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits (amended once) between 1984 and 1991, permitted to 3,200 ft.
It was permitted by Seagull Midcon Inc. and has since transferred to Petco Energy Corporation on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 2 formation tops, including Brown Dolomite, Granite Wash.
Its 2 leases have reported 19K barrels of oil and 360K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 8 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
