Cole W.S. #3
Howard County · Vincent (Clear Fork Lower) field · Shut IN · Vertical
Cole W.S. #3 (API 42-227-31538) is a well in Howard County operated by Sequoia Natural Gas Inc., completed March 25, 1987 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued December 16, 1977, permitted to 4,600 ft.
It was permitted by Harper & Lawless and has since transferred to Sequoia Natural Gas Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including San Andres, Glorieta, Clear Fork.
Its lease has reported 29.7K barrels of oil and 95.6K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 12 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
Permitted by Harper & Lawless; the EWA schedule now lists a different operator.
