Melissa #3 (API 42-399-35324) is a plugged well in Runnels County, plugged February 21, 2025, last operated by Cedar Oil Company.

The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued April 27, 2012, permitted to 6,000 ft.

It was permitted by Gaedeke Oil & Gas Operating, LLC and has since transferred to Cedar Oil Company on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including King Sd, Cisco, Capps.

Its lease has reported 557K barrels of oil and 212K mcf of gas since August 1996, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

The sources disagree, which usually means a transfer or a lease-level production filing by a different entity. Petrora goes with the schedule.
