Taylor County · Patterson S. (Dothan Up.) field · NO Production · Vertical
Hester H.W. #3 (API 42-441-81797) is a well in Taylor County operated by Subsurface Production Inc., completed January 9, 1985 and listed as no production on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued October 26, 1984, permitted to 2,435 ft.
It was permitted by Powell, A. Brandt and has since transferred to Subsurface Production Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 14.2K barrels of oil and 190 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
