Neal -A- 16 #3 (API 42-371-33697) is a plugged well in Pecos County, plugged December 2, 1999, last operated by Primal Energy Corporation.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued December 14, 1981, permitted to 3,100 ft.
It was permitted by Moss, WM., Properties, Inc. and has since transferred to Primal Energy Corporation on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 9.42K barrels of oil and 28 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in January 2000. The lease carries 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
