Hertel Elizabeth M. ET. Vir. #3 (API 42-275-31488) is a plugged well in Knox County, plugged October 21, 2021, last operated by Texcel Exploration Inc..

The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued November 23, 1983, permitted to 2,100 ft.

It was permitted by Creston Petroleum Corp. and has since transferred to Texcel Exploration Inc. on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Tannehill, Up. Tannehill, Lo. Tannehill.

Its 2 leases have reported 87.6K barrels of oil and 179 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 7 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.
