Fargo West Unit #3 (API 42-487-32273) is a well in Wilbarger County operated by Gruy Petroleum Management CO., completed August 9, 1993.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued May 20, 1993, permitted to 7,000 ft.
It was permitted by Reef Exploration, Inc. (A-1) and has since transferred to Gruy Petroleum Management CO. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including Palo Pinto, Strawn, Mississippian, Ellenburger.
Its 3 leases have reported 292K barrels of oil and 24 mcf of gas since August 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 38 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
