Whatley E. S. et AL #3
Dawson County · JO-Mill (Fusselman) field · Vertical
Whatley E. S. ET AL #3 (API 42-115-31440) is a well in Dawson County operated by New Height Energy LLC, completed July 10, 1981.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1981 and 2010, permitted to 10,200 ft.
It was permitted by Celero Energy II, LP and has since transferred to New Height Energy LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Spraberry, Pennsylvanian, Mississippian.
Its 2 leases have reported 120K barrels of oil and 105K 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.
