Steward E #3 (API 42-161-30978) is a well in Freestone County operated by Jay Management Company LLC, completed January 28, 1985 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued January 16, 1985, permitted to 4,600 ft.
It was permitted by Txo Production Corp. and has since transferred to Jay Management Company LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Bac, Sub-Clarksville, Woodbine.
Its lease has reported 334K barrels of oil and 65.4K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 6 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
