Curry John #3 (API 42-429-35653) is a well in Stephens County operated by Petex, completed August 7, 1997 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued June 23, 1997, permitted to 3,300 ft.
It was permitted by Breck Operating Corp. and has since transferred to Petex on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 74.2K barrels of oil and 34.7K mcf of gas since August 1997, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
