Sanders M.L. -B- #B 3 (API 42-355-30623) is a plugged well in Nueces County, plugged November 1, 2011, last operated by Venus Oil Company.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1982 and 2001, permitted to 7,320 ft.
It was permitted by Gcea, LLC and has since transferred to Venus Oil Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including T. Frio.
Its 2 leases have reported 90 barrels of oil since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
