Mcmurry -C- #3 (API 42-317-33327) is a plugged well in Martin County, plugged May 12, 2010, last operated by Merit Energy Company.

The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued December 30, 1985, permitted to 9,400 ft.

It was permitted by Hanley Petroleum Inc. and has since transferred to Merit Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 5 formation tops, including Red Beds, San Andres, Clear Fork, Spraberry.

Its lease has reported 39.3K barrels of oil and 117K mcf of gas since January 1993, with no volume in the three years through April 2026. The lease carries 3 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.
