Ardrey W. C. #3 (API 42-295-31448) is a plugged well in Lipscomb County, plugged September 25, 2020, last operated by H & L Exploration Company LLC.

The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued January 10, 1984, permitted to 9,000 ft.

It was permitted by Oneok Exploration Company and has since transferred to H & L Exploration Company LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 6 formation tops, including Tonkawa, Cherokee, Morrow, Larason.

Its lease has reported 28.3K barrels of oil and 122K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in April 2022. The lease carries 2 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.
