Lavaca County · Sublime West (Midway U.) field · Vertical
Baum Ruth #3 (API 42-285-31566) is a plugged well in Lavaca County, plugged November 24, 1998, last operated by Apache Corporation.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued March 31, 1981, permitted to 13,273 ft.
It was permitted by Getty Oil CO. and has since transferred to Apache Corporation on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 4.8K barrels of oil and 485K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in January 1999. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
