Clark Clay #3 (API 42-285-32612) is a well in Lavaca County operated by Sulphur River Exploration Inc., completed August 26, 1998.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits (amended twice) between 1998 and 1999, permitted to 15,000 ft.
It was permitted by Bass Enterprises Production CO. and has since transferred to Sulphur River Exploration Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 99.5K barrels of oil and 289K mcf of gas since August 1995, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
