Wise County · Boonsville (Bend Congl. Gas) field · Producing · Vertical
Donaldson-Smith #3 (API 42-497-33318) is a well in Wise County operated by Bkv Barnett LLC, completed January 17, 1991 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued 3 drilling permits (amended twice) between 1986 and 1991, permitted to 6,950 ft.
It was permitted by Mitchell Energy Corporation and has since transferred to Bkv Barnett LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 5 formation tops, including Caddo, Pregnant Shale, Atoka, Barnett.
Its 2 leases have reported 109 barrels of oil and 796K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
