Arco Fee #3 (API 42-241-30544) is a plugged well in Jasper County, plugged May 3, 2022, last operated by Cameron Exploration Inc..

The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued June 29, 1993, permitted to 10,200 ft.

It was permitted by Columbia Gas Development Corp. and has since transferred to Cameron Exploration Inc. on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report one formation top, including Wilcox.

Its lease has reported 214K barrels of oil and 189K 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.

The sources disagree, which usually means a transfer or a lease-level production filing by a different entity. Petrora goes with the schedule.
