Wheeler #A 3H (API 42-311-34278) is a horizontal well in Mcmullen County operated by Ineos USA Oil & Gas LLC, completed April 18, 2011 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule, shut in April 1, 2025.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended twice), issued August 23, 2010, permitted to 9,540 ft.
It was permitted by Chesapeake Operating, Inc. and has since transferred to Ineos USA Oil & Gas LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Anacacho, Austin Chalk, Eagle Ford.
Its lease has reported 7.56M barrels of oil and 5.09M mcf of gas since December 2010, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 39 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

Texas locations come from drilling permits, so most older Texas wells have none and are not listed.

Well logs
2 logs loaded from the RRC's log index, the latest received Feb 2, 2016. Density, Neutron, Resistivity. These are the logs loaded into Petrora from the Railroad Commission's inventories, not necessarily every log run on the well. The RRC holds the files; each opens from its log search for the well. The kind is the RRC's description of the log; the interval is the one filed for it.

"Spans" is by this well's own filed formation tops: a formation runs from its top to the next deeper top filed, and the deepest runs to the bottom of the log. Depths are measured along the wellbore, so on a horizontal the lateral counts in the formation it was landed in.
