Wheeler #5
McMullen County · A.W.P. (Olmos) field · Shut IN · Vertical
Wheeler #5 (API 42-311-33946) is a well in Mcmullen County operated by Dorado Drilling Inc., completed April 24, 2007 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued February 15, 2007, permitted to 9,236 ft.
It was permitted by Texcal Energy (GP) LLC and has since transferred to Dorado Drilling Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 57.5K barrels of oil and 629K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 6 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
Permitted by Texcal Energy (GP) LLC; the EWA schedule now lists a different operator.
