Reeves County · Wolfbone (Trend Area) field · Vertical
Trigger 40 #3 (API 42-389-33481) is a plugged well in Reeves County, plugged April 10, 2026, last operated by Noble Energy Inc.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued October 10, 2012, permitted to 12,500 ft.
It was permitted by Comstock Oil & Gas, LP and has since transferred to Noble Energy Inc on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Brushy Canyon, Bone Spring, Wolfcamp.
Its lease has reported 88.2K barrels of oil and 200K mcf of gas since May 2012, with no volume in the three years through April 2026. The lease carries 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

Completion filings
W-2 and G-1 reports on record in the RRC wellbore file, newest first. The suffix identifies the wellbore or completion event. The record date is the RRC's own date on the record, not the day the report was filed: 462,034 of the state's filings carry 1984-01-12. About these reports →

Well logs
1 log loaded from the RRC's log index, the latest received Dec 14, 2015. Density, Neutron, Resistivity. These are the logs loaded into Petrora from the Railroad Commission's inventories, not necessarily every log run on the well. The RRC holds the files; each opens from its log search for the well. The kind is the RRC's description of the log; the interval is the one filed for it.

"Spans" is by this well's own filed formation tops: a formation runs from its top to the next deeper top filed, and the deepest runs to the bottom of the log. Depths are measured along the wellbore, so on a horizontal the lateral counts in the formation it was landed in.
