Rusk County · East Texas field · Producing · Vertical
Alford J. R. #3R (API 42-401-30858) is a well in Rusk County operated by Linder John Operating CO. LLC, completed January 17, 1980 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued October 29, 1979, permitted to 3,725 ft.
It was permitted by Valco Operating, Inc. and has since transferred to Linder John Operating CO. LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 402K barrels of oil and 241 mcf of gas since the record begins in January 1993, last reporting volume in August 2026. The lease carries 15 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
