Hardin County · Sour Lake field · Vertical
Shoestring #3A (API 42-199-31820) is a plugged well in Hardin County, plugged March 22, 2005, last operated by Clover Production Company.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued December 27, 1982, permitted to 2,500 ft.
It was permitted by Mercy Well Service, Inc. and has since transferred to Clover Production Company on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 1.81K barrels of oil since January 1993, last reporting in February 2017. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
