Gaines County · Brumley (Seven Rivers) field · Vertical
Riley M. C. #3 (API 42-165-34729) is a plugged well in Gaines County, plugged July 11, 2000, last operated by Scythian Ltd..
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued May 16, 1994, permitted to 3,500 ft.
It was permitted by Texland-Rector & Schumacher and has since transferred to Scythian Ltd. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Seven Rivers.
Its lease has reported 12.4K barrels of oil and 67 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in August 2000. The lease carries 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
