Scurry County · Sharon Ridge (1700) field · Producing · Vertical
Richardson E. J. #3 (API 42-415-31633) is a well in Scurry County operated by Gray Gordon Operator, completed July 11, 1980 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued June 26, 1980, permitted to 1,850 ft.
It was permitted by Echols & Gray Bros. and has since transferred to Gray Gordon Operator on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 11.7K barrels of oil and 135 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
