Wilson County · Pawelek (Austin Chalk) field · Horizontal
Fred H. Chandler Unit #3 (API 42-493-32280) is a plugged horizontal well in Wilson County, plugged July 14, 2013, last operated by Marathon Oil Company.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued March 11, 1991, permitted to 10,800 ft.
It was permitted by Petro-Hunt Corporation and has since transferred to Marathon Oil Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Austin Chalk.
Its lease has reported 91.2K barrels of oil and 21 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in June 2015. The lease carries 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
