Carr & Smith #3 (API 42-475-32554) is a plugged well in Ward County, plugged January 31, 2011, last operated by Murphree Brothers Production.

The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued March 15, 1982, permitted to 2,400 ft.

It was permitted by Henderson & Erickson and has since transferred to Murphree Brothers Production on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report one formation top, including Yates.

Its lease has reported 2.26K barrels of oil and 6.98K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
