Caddell #16-3 (API 42-107-30531) is a well in Crosby County operated by J-D Oil CO., completed September 10, 1980.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued July 24, 1980, permitted to 4,500 ft.
It was permitted by Caddell, James & Delton and has since transferred to J-D Oil CO. on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 225K barrels of oil and 142 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 46 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
