Sanders A #3
Harrison County · Waskom (Zorba Sand) field · Vertical
Sanders A #3 (API 42-203-31077) is a plugged well in Harrison County, plugged December 12, 2008, last operated by Exco Production Company LP.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued October 25, 1983, permitted to 7,000 ft.
It was permitted by Txo Production Corp. and has since transferred to Exco Production Company LP on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 13 formation tops, including Navarro, Nacotoch, Saratoga, Pecan Gap.
Its 4 leases have reported 32.4K barrels of oil and 44.9K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in January 2009. The leases carry 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
