Nelsen H. J. Gas Unit #3 (API 42-321-30067) is a plugged well in Matagorda County, plugged February 5, 1999, last operated by Getty Oil CO..
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1984 and 1989, permitted to 8,733 ft.
It was permitted by Texaco Producing Inc. and has since transferred to Getty Oil CO. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Frio.
Its lease has reported 1.29K barrels of oil and 28K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in February 1999. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
