Ector County · TXL (Ellenburger) field · Producing · Horizontal · Sidetrack
Slator J. D. #3 (API 42-135-04642) is a horizontal well in Ector County operated by Aghorn Operating Inc., completed March 26, 2020 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended twice), issued February 13, 1995, permitted to 9,300 ft.
It was permitted by Marathon Oil Company and has since transferred to Aghorn Operating Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 5 formation tops, including Rstlr, Devonian, Silurian (undifferentiated), Fusselman.
Its lease has reported 311K barrels of oil and 882K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
