Hinds F. C. #3 (API 42-055-31214) is a plugged well in Caldwell County, plugged February 22, 2022, last operated by North American Drilling Corp.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued September 4, 1979, permitted to 2,700 ft.
It was permitted by M & C Oil CO. and has since transferred to North American Drilling Corp on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 5.44K barrels of oil and 5.5K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 21 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
