Meaning

What this document usually means

A W-3A is not the same thing as a final plugged-well record. It usually represents a notice of intention to plug and abandon. For lifecycle tracking, it is useful because it can appear before the final W-3 plugging record.

Future Wells Texas shows W-3A records as plugging notice activity, so users can distinguish planned plugging from wells already marked plugged.
