WELL · 42-275-31676 · DISTRICT 9
Hertel A #3
Knox County · Hertel (Tannehill) field · Vertical
Hertel A #3 (API 42-275-31676) is a well in Knox County operated by Richardson Bud II, completed June 6, 1985.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued May 31, 1985, permitted to 2,250 ft.
It was permitted by American Energy Development CO. and has since transferred to Richardson Bud II on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Tannehill.
Its 2 leases have reported 99.4K barrels of oil and 25 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 8 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
It holds an active disposal or injection permit, with 47.1K barrels injected in the 12 months reported through February 2026.
Operator of record
Permitted by American Energy Development Co.; the EWA schedule now lists a different operator.
