Matthews Joe B. A #J 3 (API 42-447-35096) is a plugged well in Throckmorton County, plugged June 23, 2004, last operated by Putnam Joe Oil Company.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1990 and 1993, permitted to 850 ft.
It was permitted by Central Energy Producing Company and has since transferred to Putnam Joe Oil Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 2 formation tops, including Tannehill, Saddle Creek.
Its 2 leases have reported 200 barrels of oil and 491 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 11 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
