Wheeler Lee #3 (API 42-311-32615) is a well in Mcmullen County operated by Wapiti Operating LLC, completed October 2, 1997.
The RRC has issued 3 drilling permits between 1987 and 2012, permitted to 10,500 ft.
It was permitted by Layline Petroleum I, LLC and has since transferred to Wapiti Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including Queen City, Carrizo, Wilcox, Olmos.
Its 2 leases have reported 290K barrels of oil and 1.91M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 9 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
