Steele #3 (API 42-203-31671) is a plugged well in Harrison County, plugged October 29, 2008, last operated by Exco Production Company LP.
The RRC has issued 3 drilling permits between 1987 and 1999, permitted to 6,700 ft.
It was permitted by Winchester Production Company and has since transferred to Exco Production Company LP on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Massive Anhydrite (marker), Pettit, Travis Peak.
Its 3 leases have reported 4.75K barrels of oil and 79.9K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in October 2008. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
