Reagan County · Spraberry (Trend Area) field · Vertical
Sau 18-3 #3A (API 42-383-35455) is a plugged well in Reagan County, plugged September 30, 2019, last operated by Apache Corporation.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued September 14, 2004, permitted to 8,350 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 2 leases have reported 206K barrels of oil and 1.01M mcf of gas since July 2003, with no volume in the three years through April 2026. The leases carry 5 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
