Kirby Walker Pettit #3 (API 42-199-31497) is a plugged well in Hardin County, plugged June 2, 1998, last operated by Santa FE Energy Oper. Part. LP.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued October 20, 1980, permitted to 12,776 ft.
It was permitted by Santa FE Energy CO. and has since transferred to Santa FE Energy Oper. Part. LP on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Kirby.
Its 2 leases have reported 4 barrels of oil and 3 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in June 1998. The leases carry 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
