Wharton Unit #20
Gaines County · Harris field · Vertical
Wharton Unit #20 (API 42-165-03143) is a disposal or injection well in Gaines County operated by Bce-Mach Iii LLC under an active UIC permit.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued May 22, 2007, permitted to 5,750 ft.
It was permitted by Chevron U. S. A. Inc. and has since transferred to Bce-Mach Iii LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including San Andres.
Its 3 leases have reported 13.8M barrels of oil and 3.86M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 236 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
It holds an active disposal or injection permit.
