Shields -A- #14 (API 42-179-30784) is a well in Gray County operated by Petco Energy Corporation, completed August 12, 1981 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued June 23, 1980, permitted to 3,310 ft.
It was permitted by Cities Service Company and has since transferred to Petco Energy Corporation on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 104K barrels of oil and 79.8K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 11 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
