Denison #3
Caldwell County · Salt Flat field · Producing · Vertical
Denison #3 (API 42-055-32257) is a well in Caldwell County operated by Petroleum Recovery Systems L.C., completed August 24, 1981 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued August 18, 1981, permitted to 2,800 ft.
It was permitted by Oertli Oil and has since transferred to Petroleum Recovery Systems L.C. on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 2.82K barrels of oil and 318 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
