Smith George W. #3 (API 42-079-31591) is a well in Cochran County operated by R3 Operating Corporation, completed September 6, 1982 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued August 18, 1982, permitted to 4,950 ft.
It was permitted by Jap Oil Corporation and has since transferred to R3 Operating Corporation on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 256K barrels of oil and 22K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
