Thomas 2a #3 (API 42-227-36172) is a plugged well in Howard County, plugged June 5, 2023, last operated by New Height Energy LLC.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued August 4, 2008, permitted to 11,000 ft.
It was permitted by Linn Operating, Inc. and has since transferred to New Height Energy LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 2 formation tops, including Wolfcamp, Pennsylvanian.
Its lease has reported 101K barrels of oil and 558K mcf of gas since September 2008, last reporting volume in March 2026. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

Well logs
1 log loaded from the RRC's log index, the latest received Mar 13, 2009. Density, Neutron. These are the logs loaded into Petrora from the Railroad Commission's inventories, not necessarily every log run on the well. The RRC holds the files; each opens from its log search for the well. The kind is the RRC's description of the log; the interval is the one filed for it.

"Spans" is by this well's own filed formation tops: a formation runs from its top to the next deeper top filed, and the deepest runs to the bottom of the log. Depths are measured along the wellbore, so on a horizontal the lateral counts in the formation it was landed in.
