Montgomery Unit #3
Hidalgo County · San Carlos (FF-18) field · Vertical
Montgomery Unit #3 (API 42-215-01840) is a plugged well in Hidalgo County, plugged November 18, 2005, last operated by Kerr-Mcgee Oil & Gas Onshore LP.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued April 12, 1994, permitted to 7,650 ft.
It was permitted by Merit Energy Company and has since transferred to Kerr-Mcgee Oil & Gas Onshore LP on the wellbore schedule.
Its 4 leases have reported 16 barrels of oil and 147K mcf of gas since January 1993, with no volume in the three years through April 2026. The leases carry 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
