Waples-Platter TG #3
Yoakum County · Ownby (Clear Fork Upper) field · Vertical
Waples-Platter TG #3 (API 42-501-31961) is a well in Yoakum County operated by Shell Western E&P Inc., completed March 17, 1990.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued January 12, 1981, permitted to 7,000 ft.
It was permitted by Arco Oil & Gas CO. and has since transferred to Shell Western E&P Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Tansill, Yates, Grayburg.
Its 2 leases have reported 12.3M barrels of oil and 2.69M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 160 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
It holds an active disposal or injection permit, with 51.8K barrels injected in the 12 months reported through November 2025.
