Ricker -E- #3 (API 42-383-33602) is a plugged well in Reagan County, plugged July 20, 2018, last operated by Diamondback E&P LLC.

The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued October 30, 1985, permitted to 8,300 ft.

It was permitted by Sun Expl. & Prod. CO.-Midland and has since transferred to Diamondback E&P LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 5 formation tops, including U. Spraberry, M. Spraberry, L. Spraberry, Dean.

Its lease has reported 119K barrels of oil and 1.03M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 6 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

The sources disagree, which usually means a transfer or a lease-level production filing by a different entity. Petrora goes with the schedule.
