Olson J. O. ET AL #3 (API 42-321-31016) is a plugged well in Matagorda County, plugged October 26, 2016, last operated by Penn Virginia Oil & Gas L.P..
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1980 and 2013, permitted to 14,500 ft.
It was permitted by Hilcorp Energy Company and has since transferred to Penn Virginia Oil & Gas L.P. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including Anahuac, Frio, Upper Anomalina, Lower Anomalina.
Its 3 leases have reported 33.7K barrels of oil and 1.79M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in December 2016. The leases carry 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
