Big Mineral Creek (UV Sand) Unit #3
Grayson County · Big Mineral Creek (UV Sand Unit) field · Vertical
Big Mineral Creek (UV Sand) Unit #3 (API 42-181-00855) is a well in Grayson County operated by Flintlock Exploration LLC, completed March 21, 2018.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued August 29, 2025, permitted to 7,000 ft.
It was permitted by Bls Production CO., Inc. and has since transferred to Flintlock Exploration LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 18 formation tops, including Strawn, Baker Sand, "V" Sand, Dornick Hills.
Its 8 leases have reported 3.41M barrels of oil and 3.97M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 243 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
It holds an active disposal or injection permit; TexNet located 0 M2+ earthquakes within 10 km over the last two years.
