McFarland Robert et Al #3
Brazoria County · Pledger (Frio 7260) field · Shut In · Vertical
Mcfarland Robert ET AL #3 (API 42-039-30820) is a well in Brazoria County operated by Texas Petroleum Investment CO., completed May 11, 2012 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule, shut in December 1, 2023.
The RRC has issued 3 drilling permits between 1977 and 1980, permitted to 8,100 ft.
It was permitted by Pennzoil Producing CO. and has since transferred to Texas Petroleum Investment CO. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Frio.
Its 3 leases have reported 265K barrels of oil and 385K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 6 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
