Epley #3 (API 42-317-34179) is a well in Martin County operated by Pioneer Natural Res. USA Inc., completed October 21, 2025 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued May 5, 1998, permitted to 9,600 ft.
It was permitted by Odessa Exploration, Inc. and has since transferred to Pioneer Natural Res. USA Inc. on the wellbore schedule.

Its lease has reported 95.4K barrels of oil and 117K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
