Gamble W.D. #3 (API 42-441-32011) is a plugged well in Taylor County, plugged December 3, 2004, last operated by Beeda Oil Company.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued September 21, 1981, permitted to 2,900 ft.
It was permitted by Chalmers Operating CO., Inc. and has since transferred to Beeda Oil Company on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 6.76K barrels of oil and 34 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
Permitted by Chalmers Operating Co., Inc.; the EWA schedule now lists a different operator.
