Gowan #3 (API 42-077-30979) is a plugged well in Clay County, plugged September 4, 2007, last operated by Pruitt Oil & Gas.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued July 8, 1977, permitted to 4,900 ft.
It was permitted by Publishers Petroleum and has since transferred to Pruitt Oil & Gas on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 22K barrels of oil and 303 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in March 2008. The lease carries 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
