Midland County · Parks (Consolidated) field · Shut In · Vertical
Benge Marion V. Estate #3 (API 42-329-31559) is a well in Midland County operated by Cog Operating LLC, completed February 15, 2002 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule, shut in October 1, 2026.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1985 and 2001, permitted to 10,975 ft.
It was permitted by Henry Petroleum LP and has since transferred to Cog Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 6 formation tops, including Spraberry, Wolfamp, Wolfcamp, Strawn.
Its 2 leases have reported 345K barrels of oil and 885K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The leases carry 6 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
