Engelke Vernon #3
Guadalupe County · Spiller field · Producing · Vertical
Engelke Vernon #3 (API 42-187-31383) is a well in Guadalupe County operated by Texstar Oil & Gas LLC, completed August 15, 1981 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued February 3, 1981, permitted to 2,500 ft.
It was permitted by Simpson, Sherwood L. and has since transferred to Texstar Oil & Gas LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 11.1K barrels of oil and 5.75K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 9 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
