Abel #3
Liberty County · Hull field · Producing · Vertical
Abel #3 (API 42-291-31879) is a well in Liberty County operated by G.A.P. Production LLC, completed January 3, 1986 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued February 26, 1985, permitted to 4,000 ft.
It was permitted by Marshall Petroleum, Inc. and has since transferred to G.A.P. Production LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 27.5K barrels of oil since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 9 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
Permitted by Marshall Petroleum, Inc.; the EWA schedule now lists a different operator.
