WELL · 42-331-31077 · DISTRICT 1
Menke #3
Milam County · Minerva-Rockdale field · Vertical
Menke #3 (API 42-331-31077) is a well in Milam County operated by 94 Operating LP, completed July 7, 1981.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued May 25, 1981, permitted to 1,150 ft.
It was permitted by Aries Oil Corp. and has since transferred to 94 Operating LP on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Navarro.
Its 2 leases have reported 1.99K barrels of oil and 17 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 9 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
It holds an active disposal or injection permit, with 32 barrels injected in the 12 months reported through July 2022.
