East Keystone (San A Holt Unit) #3 (API 42-495-30356) is a well in Winkler County operated by Formentera Operations LLC, completed September 15, 1975 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule, shut in November 1, 2023.

The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued March 16, 1995, permitted to 4,857 ft.

It was permitted by Hallwood Petroleum, Inc. and has since transferred to Formentera Operations LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Its 3 leases have reported 1.6M barrels of oil and 2.04M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 162 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
