Hanks A Unit #3 (API 42-495-32763) is a well in Winkler County operated by Gruy Petroleum Management CO., completed September 25, 1999.

The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1997 and 1999, permitted to 5,500 ft.

It was permitted by Hallwood Petroleum, Inc. and has since transferred to Gruy Petroleum Management CO. on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including Queen, Colby, San Andres, Holt.

Its 3 leases have reported 1.56M barrels of oil and 1.94M mcf of gas since September 1999, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 158 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

It holds an active disposal or injection permit, with 69K barrels injected in the 12 months reported through August 2025.

The sources disagree, which usually means a transfer or a lease-level production filing by a different entity. Petrora goes with the schedule.
