Franks Estate #3
Shelby County · Stockman (Cotton Valley) field · Vertical
Franks Estate #3 (API 42-419-30916) is a plugged well in Shelby County, plugged January 7, 2016, last operated by Devon Energy Production CO L.P..
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued February 25, 2004, permitted to 11,200 ft.
It was permitted by Devon Louisiana Corporation and has since transferred to Devon Energy Production CO L.P. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Pettit, Travis Peak, Cotton Valley.
Its 2 leases have reported 7.16K barrels of oil and 653K mcf of gas since August 2004, with no volume in the three years through April 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

Well logs
2 logs loaded from the RRC's log index, the latest received Oct 24, 2008. Density, Neutron, Resistivity. These are the logs loaded into Petrora from the Railroad Commission's inventories, not necessarily every log run on the well. The RRC holds the files; each opens from its log search for the well. The kind is the RRC's description of the log; the interval is the one filed for it.

"Spans" is by this well's own filed formation tops: a formation runs from its top to the next deeper top filed, and the deepest runs to the bottom of the log. Depths are measured along the wellbore, so on a horizontal the lateral counts in the formation it was landed in.
