Rusk County · East Texas field · Vertical
Arnold #3-R (API 42-401-31230) is a plugged well in Rusk County, plugged February 14, 1996, last operated by Burk Royalty Company.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued June 2, 1981, permitted to 3,800 ft.
It was permitted by Major & Garvin Producing CO. and has since transferred to Burk Royalty Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Chalk, Woodbine, Georgetown.
Its lease has reported 1.03K barrels of oil and 16 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in April 1996. The lease carries 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
