Phelps #3 (API 42-195-30823) is a well in Hansford County operated by Questa Energy Corporation, completed January 7, 1982.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued October 5, 1981, permitted to 8,200 ft.
It was permitted by Argonaut Energy Corporation and has since transferred to Questa Energy Corporation on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Douglas, Cleveland, Morrow.
Its 2 leases have reported 17.2K barrels of oil and 456K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
