Wade Gay #3 (API 42-317-32129) is a well in Martin County operated by Ovintiv USA Inc., completed May 10, 2016 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued December 13, 1979, permitted to 9,900 ft.
It was permitted by Saxon Oil Company and has since transferred to Ovintiv USA Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Spraberry, Jo Mill, Dean.
Its lease has reported 40.4K barrels of oil and 39.2K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 5 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
