Briley Ray #3
Franklin County · Talco field · Vertical
Briley Ray #3 (API 42-159-30309) is a well in Franklin County operated by Oto CO., completed September 28, 1982.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued August 31, 1982, permitted to 4,800 ft.
It was permitted by Taubert & Steed and has since transferred to Oto CO. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 5 formation tops, including Nacotoch, Pecan Gap, Blossom, Austin Chalk.
Its 2 leases have reported 159K barrels of oil and 48 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 25 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
It holds an active disposal or injection permit, with 423K barrels injected in the 12 months reported through June 2025.
