Culbertson #3-5 (API 42-253-32236) is a well in Jones County operated by Dark Canyon Resources LLC, completed October 1, 1982 and listed as no production on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued May 17, 1982, permitted to 3,500 ft.
It was permitted by Hlh Petroleum Corporation and has since transferred to Dark Canyon Resources LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 30.2K barrels of oil and 143 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.
