4-W Ranch #3 (API 42-253-31945) is a well in Jones County operated by Whitt W. J., completed September 25, 1981.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued July 22, 1981, permitted to 2,500 ft.
It was permitted by Raw Energy Corporation and has since transferred to Whitt W. J. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Bluff Creek, Flippen, Cook Sand.
Its lease has reported 25.9K barrels of oil and 84 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.
