Wharton Unit #177W
Gaines County · Harris field · Vertical
Wharton Unit #177W (API 42-165-34170) is a well in Gaines County operated by Bce-Mach Iii LLC, completed April 8, 2024.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1990 and 2023, permitted to 6,050 ft.
It was permitted by Sabinal Energy Operating, LLC and has since transferred to Bce-Mach Iii LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 10 formation tops, including Yates, Seven Rivers, Queen, San Andres.
Its 2 leases have reported 13.5M barrels of oil and 3.84M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 225 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
It holds an active disposal or injection permit, with 234K barrels injected in the 12 months reported through October 2025; TexNet located 0 M2+ earthquakes within 10 km over the last two years.
