Kent County · Spires NW. (Strawn C-2) field · NO Production · Vertical
Mcmeans W. G. Operating Area #3 (API 42-263-30025) is a well in Kent County operated by Royal Oryx OG LLC, completed May 3, 1984 and listed as no production on the RRC schedule, shut in May 1, 2026.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1982 and 1983, permitted to 7,734 ft.
It was permitted by Amoco Production CO.-Levelland and has since transferred to Royal Oryx OG LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Glorieta, Canyon, Strawn.
Its lease has reported 111K barrels of oil and 26.6K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 7 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
