Chaffin #3A (API 42-097-02987) is a plugged well in Cooke County, plugged May 20, 1980, last operated by Ski Production LLC.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued November 27, 1990, permitted to 1,098 ft.
It was permitted by Bayer, J. H. and has since transferred to Ski Production LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 87.2K barrels of oil and 20 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 22 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
