Young County · I.M.U. (Caddo Cons.) field · Water Supply · Vertical
James (Caddo) Unit #3AWS (API 42-503-37524) is a well in Young County operated by Ridge Oil Company, completed December 23, 2008 and listed as water supply on the RRC schedule, shut in February 1, 2026.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued September 20, 1983, permitted to 3,050 ft.
It was permitted by Damson Oil Corp. and has since transferred to Ridge Oil Company on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 1.07M barrels of oil and 237K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The leases carry 75 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
Permitted by Damson Oil Corp.; the EWA schedule now lists a different operator.
