Hockley County · Levelland field · Producing · Vertical
Sanders #3 (API 42-219-33296) is a well in Hockley County operated by Burk Royalty CO. Ltd., completed October 5, 1981 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued September 24, 1981, permitted to 4,950 ft.
It was permitted by Sanders Oil CO. and has since transferred to Burk Royalty CO. Ltd. on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 167K barrels of oil and 33.3K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 5 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
