Martin County · Spraberry (Trend Area) field · Vertical
Cox Kenneth #3 (API 42-317-32591) is a plugged well in Martin County, plugged December 1, 2022, last operated by Diamondback E&P LLC.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued September 17, 1982, permitted to 9,400 ft.
It was permitted by Cox, John L. and has since transferred to Diamondback E&P LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 152K barrels of oil and 836K mcf of gas since the record begins in January 1993, last reporting volume in September 2023. The lease carries 7 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

Texas locations come from drilling permits, so most older Texas wells have none and are not listed.
