Cowan-Mckinney L #3 (API 42-009-38010) is a plugged well in Archer County, plugged December 12, 2006, last operated by Efficiency Operating Company.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued November 29, 1983, permitted to 1,600 ft.
It was permitted by Knight, Mack and has since transferred to Efficiency Operating Company on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 5.03K barrels of oil and 104 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in March 2008. The lease carries 5 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
Permitted by Knight, Mack; the EWA schedule now lists a different operator.
