Sau 44 #3 (API 42-383-34010) is a plugged well in Reagan County, plugged April 28, 2026, last operated by Apache Corporation.

The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued April 30, 1990, permitted to 8,200 ft.

It was permitted by Hardy Oil & Gas USA Inc. and has since transferred to Apache Corporation on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 2 formation tops, including Spraberry, Dean.

Its lease has reported 695K barrels of oil and 4.31M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 19 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
