Driver J. W.-13 #3 (API 42-329-31637) is a plugged well in Midland County, plugged October 26, 2022, last operated by Apache Corporation.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued November 11, 1985, permitted to 8,700 ft.
It was permitted by Arco Oil & Gas CO. and has since transferred to Apache Corporation on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 2 formation tops, including Spraberry, Dean.
Its lease has reported 544K barrels of oil and 815K mcf of gas since the record begins in January 1993, with no volume in the three years through April 2026. The lease carries 8 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

Texas locations come from drilling permits, so most older Texas wells have none and are not listed.
