Ela Miss -D- #3
Irion County · Spraberry (Trend Area) field · Vertical
Ela Miss -D- #3 (API 42-235-33028) is a plugged well in Irion County, plugged August 20, 2018, last operated by Apache Corporation.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued July 1, 1991, permitted to 6,500 ft.
It was permitted by Cox, John L. and has since transferred to Apache Corporation on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Santa Rosa, Spraberry, Dean.
Its lease has reported 27K barrels of oil and 126K mcf of gas since the record begins in January 1993, with no volume in the three years through April 2026. The lease carries 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
Permitted by Cox, John L.; the EWA schedule now lists a different operator.

Surface location
No coordinates on the permit record yet. The RRC's GIS record usually lands within days of issuance; historical master-file permits never carry one.

Texas locations come from drilling permits, so most older Texas wells have none and are not listed.
