Mcelreath #3 (API 42-097-31812) is a well in Cooke County operated by CR Reed Production Inc., completed March 20, 1982 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued July 6, 1981, permitted to 1,990 ft.
It was permitted by Ramsey, Sid and has since transferred to CR Reed Production Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 85.9K barrels of oil and 236 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 17 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
