Cardenas R.R. #3
Starr County · Rincon (Vicksburg Cons.) field · Temp Abandoned · Vertical
Cardenas R.R. #3 (API 42-427-32187) is a well in Starr County operated by Mountain V Texas LLC, completed February 20, 2015 and listed as temp abandoned on the RRC schedule, shut in October 1, 2002.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits in 1987, permitted to 8,842 ft.
It was permitted by Sun Expl. & Prod. CO.-Corpus and has since transferred to Mountain V Texas LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 2 formation tops, including Ashby, Vicksburg.
Its 2 leases have reported 6.79K barrels of oil and 684K mcf of gas since January 1993, with no volume in the three years through April 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
