Howard County · Vealmoor East field · Water Supply · Vertical
East Vealmoor Unit #3WSW (API 42-227-31931) is a well in Howard County operated by Surge Operating LLC, completed September 17, 1979 and listed as water supply on the RRC schedule, shut in February 1, 2026.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued August 14, 1979, permitted to 1,000 ft.
It was permitted by Getty Oil CO. and has since transferred to Surge Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 3.7M barrels of oil and 10.7M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 91 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
