Wheeler 28 #2 (API 42-227-37761) is a well in Howard County operated by Ovintiv USA Inc., completed March 1, 2014 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued December 10, 2013, permitted to 9,500 ft.
It was permitted by Athlon FE Operating LLC and has since transferred to Ovintiv USA Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 10 formation tops, including Yates, San Andres, Cisco, Coleman Junction.
Its lease has reported 177K barrels of oil and 791K mcf of gas since December 2013, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
