Cochran County · Levelland field · Vertical
Wright J.M. Unit #3 (API 42-079-30793) is a plugged well in Cochran County, plugged July 15, 2021, last operated by A.C.T. Operating Company.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued October 12, 1977, permitted to 5,200 ft.
It was permitted by Ard Drilling Company Inc. and has since transferred to A.C.T. Operating Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including San Andres.
Its 2 leases have reported 2.1M barrels of oil and 1.91M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 104 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
