King E.F. #3 (API 42-003-05861) is a plugged well in Andrews County, plugged December 27, 2006, last operated by Chesapeake Operating Inc..
The RRC has issued 3 drilling permits between 1980 and 1992, permitted to 10,250 ft.
It was permitted by MW Petroleum Corporation and has since transferred to Chesapeake Operating Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including Yates, Glorieta, Wolfcamp, Devonian.
Its 3 leases have reported 95.7K barrels of oil and 79.6K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 5 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
