Richter Louis -B- #3 (API 42-475-03958) is a plugged well in Ward County, plugged June 19, 2025, last operated by Crescent Energy Operating LLC.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued February 25, 1987, permitted to 2,650 ft.
It was permitted by MR Oil Company and has since transferred to Crescent Energy Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 63.5K barrels of oil and 15.8K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
