Cabot-Walter #3
Lubbock County · Lee Harrison field · Vertical
Cabot-Walter #3 (API 42-303-30599) is a well in Lubbock County operated by Merit Energy Company, completed October 19, 1980.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued August 18, 1980, permitted to 4,950 ft.
It was permitted by Cabot Corp. and has since transferred to Merit Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 926K barrels of oil and 1.29K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 61 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
It holds an active disposal or injection permit, with 75.3K barrels injected in the 12 months reported through March 2026.
