King Kirk #3 (API 42-315-30816) is a well in Marion County operated by Mitchell Energy Company L.P., completed November 10, 1995.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1994 and 1995, permitted to 11,900 ft.
It was permitted by Mitchell Energy Corporation and has since transferred to Mitchell Energy Company L.P. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 5 formation tops, including Pettit, Pettitt, Travis Peak, Bossier.
Its 3 leases have reported 1.55K barrels of oil and 61.5K mcf of gas since May 1995, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
