contents This paper applies the Newman-Penrose formalism-a technique primarily used in General Relativity-to the analysis of three-dimensional almost contact metric (ACM) manifolds. We reformulate and discuss several known notions and properties within the Newman-Penrose framework, demonstrating the applicability of the method in this geometric context. Furthermore, as an application showcasing the utility of the formalism, we address the classification of three-dimensional compact normal ACM manifolds, or equivalently trans-Sasakian manifolds, that admit an $η$-Einstein metric.
