Kim #3 (API 42-169-33577) is a well in Garza County operated by Cml Exploration LLC, completed April 14, 2000 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued March 16, 2000, permitted to 5,040 ft.
It was permitted by Patterson Petroleum LP and has since transferred to Cml Exploration LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Its lease has reported 538K barrels of oil and 87.4K mcf of gas since August 1999, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
