Hervey V. #3
Lee County · Dime Box (Navarro) field · NO Production · Vertical
Hervey V. #3 (API 42-287-31553) is a well in Lee County operated by Austin Minerals Inc., completed February 28, 1984 and listed as no production on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued January 17, 1984, permitted to 5,000 ft.
It was permitted by Austin Oil & Mineral and has since transferred to Austin Minerals Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Bottom Of Wilcox.
Its lease has reported 22.5K barrels of oil and 182K 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.
Operator of record
Permitted by Austin Oil & Mineral; the EWA schedule now lists a different operator.
