San Jacinto County · Cold Springs (Wilcox Cons.) field · Vertical
Foster A #3R (API 42-407-30560) is a well in San Jacinto County operated by Oretta Holdings LLC, completed May 5, 2013.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1998 and 2005, permitted to 11,600 ft.
It was permitted by Famcor Oil, Inc. and has since transferred to Oretta Holdings LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Wilcox.
Its 3 leases have reported 52K barrels of oil and 2.1M mcf of gas since May 1998, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
