Morris DR. J. S. #3 (API 42-497-32996) is a plugged well in Wise County, plugged November 15, 2010, last operated by Devon Energy Production CO L.P..
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued April 11, 1985, permitted to 8,078 ft.
It was permitted by Mitchell Energy Corporation and has since transferred to Devon Energy Production CO L.P. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 5 formation tops, including Boyd North, Caddo, Pregnant Shale, Preg Shale.
Its 2 leases have reported 435 barrels of oil and 157K mcf of gas since January 1993, with no volume in the three years through April 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
