Stephens W. E. #3 (API 42-181-30824) is a well in Grayson County operated by Xto Energy Inc., completed June 3, 1982.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits (amended once) between 1981 and 1993, permitted to 12,500 ft.
It was permitted by Chevron U. S. A. Inc. and has since transferred to Xto Energy Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 6 formation tops, including Baker, Davis, Cordell, Mclish Sand.
Its 3 leases have reported 50.2K barrels of oil and 1.19M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
