Wood County · Manziel SE. (Travis Peak) field · Vertical
Johnston K #3 (API 42-499-31656) is a well in Wood County operated by Marathon Oil Company, completed September 25, 1989.
The RRC has issued 3 drilling permits between 1989 and 2010, permitted to 9,700 ft.
It was permitted by Fair Oil, Ltd. and has since transferred to Marathon Oil Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 8 formation tops, including Bac, Austin Chalk, Buda, Paluxy.
Its 3 leases have reported 3.63K barrels of oil and 670K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
