Texaco Fee #3 (API 42-135-36727) is a plugged well in Ector County, plugged February 3, 1999, last operated by Maralo LLC.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1993 and 2014, permitted to 12,500 ft.
It was permitted by V-F Petroleum Inc. and has since transferred to Maralo LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Ellenburger.
Its 4 leases have reported 649K barrels of oil and 928K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 12 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
