O Banion #3A (API 42-203-31648) is a well in Harrison County operated by Ocean Energy Inc., completed November 13, 1987.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1987 and 1999, permitted to 6,510 ft.
It was permitted by Seagull Energy E&P Inc. and has since transferred to Ocean Energy Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Mooringsport, B/Massive Anhydrite, Travis.
Its 2 leases have reported 12K barrels of oil and 191K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
