Bennett A #3 (API 42-253-32470) is a plugged well in Jones County, plugged May 29, 2003, last operated by Iron Bell Operating LLC.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued March 31, 1983, permitted to 2,500 ft.
It was permitted by Decco Operating, Inc. and has since transferred to Iron Bell Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 33.5K 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.
