Cowden E. W. B #3 (API 42-495-33382) is a plugged well in Winkler County, plugged April 23, 2021, last operated by Saxet Oil Corporation.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued September 8, 2011, permitted to 3,300 ft.
It was permitted by Stout Energy Inc. and has since transferred to Saxet Oil Corporation on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Emperor, Deep.
Its lease has reported 237K barrels of oil and 204K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 7 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
