Thorn J.D. #3270 (API 42-081-31234) is a well in Coke County operated by Patterson Ben M. JR., completed February 14, 1984.
The RRC has issued 3 drilling permits between 1983 and 2014, permitted to 7,000 ft.
It was permitted by Clear Fork, Incorporated and has since transferred to Patterson Ben M. JR. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 8 formation tops, including Base Col. Jt., Coleman Junction, Cisco, Reef.
Its 4 leases have reported 45K barrels of oil and 57.5K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
