Burton C. L. #3A (API 42-181-01527) is a plugged well in Grayson County, plugged August 14, 1998, last operated by Chevron U. S. A. Inc..
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued July 12, 1978, permitted to 10,000 ft.
It was permitted by Houtchens, D. D. and has since transferred to Chevron U. S. A. Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 3.19K barrels of oil and 53.9K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in November 1998. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
