Hal Lopeno #3 (API 42-505-36611) is a well in Zapata County operated by Varas Energy Operating Company, completed September 8, 2018 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued November 21, 2017, permitted to 3,500 ft.
It was permitted by Bluestone Natural Res. II, LLC and has since transferred to Varas Energy Operating Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 6 formation tops, including Cook Mountain, Queen City, Jackson, Miocene (undifferentiated).
Its lease has reported 26.8K barrels of oil and 48.9K mcf of gas since January 2018, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
