Gaines County · Harris field · Producing · Horizontal · Sidetrack
Wharton Unit #147 (API 42-165-32682) is a horizontal well in Gaines County operated by Bce-Mach Iii LLC, completed May 14, 1998 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1983 and 1998, permitted to 6,846 ft.
It was permitted by Texaco E & P Inc. and has since transferred to Bce-Mach Iii LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 5 formation tops, including Anhydrite, Salt, Yates, San Andres.
Its lease has reported 13.5M barrels of oil and 3.84M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 212 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
