Johnson W. D. A #3 (API 42-497-33300) is a plugged well in Wise County, plugged December 13, 2023, last operated by Bkv Barnett LLC.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits (amended once) between 1988 and 1989, permitted to 8,100 ft.
It was permitted by Mitchell Energy Corporation and has since transferred to Bkv Barnett LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 7 formation tops, including Strawn, Boyd North, Caddo, Preg Shale.
Its 2 leases have reported 455 barrels of oil and 753K mcf of gas since the record begins in January 1993, last reporting volume in November 2023. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

Surface location
No coordinates on the permit record yet. The RRC's GIS record usually lands within days of issuance; historical master-file permits never carry one.

Every well with a location on file around this well, in any state, nearest first.
Texas locations come from drilling permits, so most older Texas wells have none and are not listed.
