Hall #3
Howard County · Varel (San Andres) field · Producing · Vertical
Hall #3 (API 42-227-33565) is a well in Howard County operated by Msd Operating LLC, completed January 16, 1985 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued November 9, 1984, permitted to 3,400 ft.
It was permitted by Mwj Producing Company and has since transferred to Msd Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 5 formation tops, including Yates, Seven Rivers, Queen, Grayburg.
Its lease has reported 47.3K barrels of oil and 21 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
