Sau 5 #3A (API 42-383-35242) is a plugged well in Reagan County, plugged December 22, 2020, last operated by Apache Corporation.

The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued October 24, 2002, permitted to 8,600 ft.

It was permitted by Mariner Energy, 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 777K barrels of oil and 4.57M mcf of gas since January 1993, with no volume in the three years through April 2026. The lease carries 26 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.
