Harrison County · Woodlawn (Cotton Valley) field · Producing · Vertical
Mcelroy Heirs #3 (API 42-203-32869) is a well in Harrison County operated by Rfe Operating LLC, completed March 13, 2004 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued October 20, 2003, permitted to 10,050 ft.
It was permitted by Winchester Production Company and has since transferred to Rfe Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 6 formation tops, including Glen Rose, Massive Anhydrite (marker), Travis Peak, Cotton Valley.
Its 2 leases have reported 21.6K barrels of oil and 1.19M mcf of gas since March 2004, last reporting volume in April 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

Well logs
1 log loaded from the RRC's log index, the latest received May 14, 2007. Resistivity. These are the logs loaded into Petrora from the Railroad Commission's inventories, not necessarily every log run on the well. The RRC holds the files; each opens from its log search for the well. The kind is the RRC's description of the log; the interval is the one filed for it.

"Spans" is by this well's own filed formation tops: a formation runs from its top to the next deeper top filed, and the deepest runs to the bottom of the log. Depths are measured along the wellbore, so on a horizontal the lateral counts in the formation it was landed in.
