Reagan County · Spraberry (Trend Area) field · Shut In · Vertical
Sau 18-3 #3 (API 42-383-35329) is a well in Reagan County operated by Apache Corporation, completed July 19, 2003 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule, shut in March 1, 2023.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued May 28, 2003, permitted to 8,266 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 163K barrels of oil and 831K mcf of gas since July 2003, with no volume in the three years through April 2026. The lease carries 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
