Dorsey Grady #3
Howard County · Moore field · Shut IN · Vertical
Dorsey Grady #3 (API 42-227-33606) is a well in Howard County operated by Vaion Energy Texas Oil Operation, completed March 9, 1985 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued December 20, 1984, permitted to 3,300 ft.
It was permitted by Tll Energy Corporation and has since transferred to Vaion Energy Texas Oil Operation on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including San Andres.
Its lease has reported 923 barrels of oil and 21 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
