Wheat James J. -A- #3 (API 42-301-30811) is a well in Loving County operated by Rodan Inc., completed March 8, 1988 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued January 20, 1988, permitted to 6,300 ft.
It was permitted by Sun Expl. & Prod. CO.-Midland and has since transferred to Rodan Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including Rustler, Lamar, Bell Canyon, Cherry Canyon.
Its lease has reported 137K barrels of oil and 304K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
