Dorward Oil Unit #6 #3 (API 42-169-31157) is a well in Garza County operated by Unitex Oil & Gas L.L.C., completed January 17, 1985 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued February 26, 1980, permitted to 2,659 ft.
It was permitted by Exxon Corp. and has since transferred to Unitex Oil & Gas L.L.C. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including San Andres, San Angelo, Clear Fork.
Its lease has reported 51.8K barrels of oil and 11.8K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
