Gaines County · Harris field · Producing · Vertical
Wharton Unit #198 (API 42-165-36612) is a well in Gaines County operated by Bce-Mach Iii LLC, completed January 24, 2007 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued July 19, 2006, permitted to 8,000 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 2 formation tops, including Yates, Glorieta.
Its lease has reported 13.5M barrels of oil and 3.84M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 212 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
