Wichita County · K-M-A field · Producing · Vertical
The Big Oil CO. #B3 (API 42-485-39646) is a well in Wichita County operated by Quatro Oil And Gas Inc., completed February 24, 1984 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued November 21, 1983, permitted to 4,222 ft.
It was permitted by Swanson, Tom and has since transferred to Quatro Oil And Gas Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including K.M.A..
Its lease has reported 46.6K barrels of oil and 21 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
