La Brisa Ranch #3 (API 42-427-33066) is a well in Starr County operated by Belco Energy Corp., completed February 12, 1998.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued December 4, 1997, permitted to 6,100 ft.
It was permitted by Belco Operating Corp. and has since transferred to Belco Energy Corp. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Frio, K-Sand, Rincon (Vicksburg 5480).
Its 2 leases have reported 16.8K barrels of oil and 8.63K mcf of gas since September 1997, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
