Wheeler R. A. #1 (API 42-135-08297) is a well in Ector County operated by Formentera Operations LLC, completed July 1, 1988 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule, shut in May 1, 2025.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued March 8, 1988, permitted to 10,628 ft.
It was permitted by Texaco Producing Inc. and has since transferred to Formentera Operations LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 96.9K barrels of oil and 255K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 5 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
