Sau 31-3 #3 (API 42-383-34068) is a plugged well in Reagan County, plugged April 27, 2016, last operated by Apache Corporation.

The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued October 22, 1990, permitted to 8,500 ft.

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

Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Spraberry, Jo Mill, Dean.

Its lease has reported 165K barrels of oil and 1.26M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
