Hidalgo County · Donna (Rice) field · Producing · Vertical
Rice Gas Unit #3 (API 42-215-31003) is a well in Hidalgo County operated by Remora Operating LLC, completed February 18, 1982 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1980 and 1981, permitted to 12,000 ft.
It was permitted by Arco Oil & Gas CO. and has since transferred to Remora Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 15.2K barrels of oil and 1.76M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
