Abney R. K. #3 (API 42-203-31249) is a well in Harrison County operated by Brookston Energy Inc., completed September 19, 1985 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1985 and 2003, permitted to 6,500 ft.
It was permitted by Winchester Production Company and has since transferred to Brookston Energy Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 11 formation tops, including Nacatoch, T. Nacatoch, Blossom, T. Blossom.
Its 2 leases have reported 229K barrels of oil and 1.9M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 6 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
