Moore B. #3 (API 42-253-32969) is a well in Jones County operated by Dark Canyon Resources LLC, completed June 15, 1984 and listed as no production on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued June 1, 1984, permitted to 3,500 ft.
It was permitted by Humphrey-Bashford Oil, Inc. and has since transferred to Dark Canyon Resources LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 6 formation tops, including Noodle Creek, Stockwether Ls, Tannehill, B/Saddle Creek.
Its lease has reported 72.6K barrels of oil and 48 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.
