Hipp W. R. #3 (API 42-497-31716) is a plugged well in Wise County, plugged January 13, 2003, last operated by Mitchell Energy Company L.P..
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued December 28, 1979, permitted to 6,400 ft.
It was permitted by Mitchell Energy Corporation and has since transferred to Mitchell Energy Company L.P. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 5 formation tops, including Atoka, T/Atoka, Caddo, T/Caddo Lime.
Its 2 leases have reported 964 barrels of oil and 50.1K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in January 2003. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
