Arco-Maersk #3RE (API 42-351-30526) is a plugged horizontal well in Newton County, plugged August 14, 1997, last operated by Mineral Technologies Inc..

The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits (amended twice) between 1991 and 1999, permitted to 12,500 ft.

It was permitted by Union Pacific Resources Company and has since transferred to Mineral Technologies Inc. on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including Saratoga, Saratoga Chalk, Blossun, Austin Chalk.

Its lease has reported 231K barrels of oil and 1.8M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 7 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
