Darter W. A. NO. 3 #4 (API 42-181-30775) is a well in Grayson County operated by Bkm Production, completed April 28, 1981.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued February 18, 1981, permitted to 8,500 ft.
It was permitted by Chevron U. S. A. Inc. and has since transferred to Bkm Production on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 2 formation tops, including Baker, Davis.
Its 2 leases have reported 76.4K barrels of oil and 4.33M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
