Burns -C- #3A (API 42-163-32556) is a well in Frio County operated by Clipper Operating CO. Inc., completed February 14, 1988.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued January 19, 1988, permitted to 3,600 ft.
It was permitted by Mid-Western Oil & Gas, Inc. and has since transferred to Clipper Operating CO. Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Navarro.
Its 2 leases have reported 27.3K barrels of oil and 119 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 9 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
