Springer #3 (API 42-317-39755) is a plugged well in Martin County, plugged May 26, 2022, last operated by Diamondback E&P LLC.

The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued August 13, 2014, permitted to 12,000 ft.

It was permitted by JM Cox Resources, L.P. and has since transferred to Diamondback E&P LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 10 formation tops, including Santa Rosa, Yates, Queen, Grayburg.

Its lease has reported 44.5K barrels of oil and 277K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in May 2023. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
