Wheeler #8
Reagan County · Spraberry (Trend Area) field · Vertical
Wheeler #8 (API 42-383-34346) is a plugged well in Reagan County, plugged November 30, 2023, last operated by Diamondback E&P LLC.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued February 13, 1995, permitted to 8,250 ft.
It was permitted by Stephens, Autry C. and has since transferred to Diamondback E&P LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Spraberry, Dean, Wolfcamp.
Its lease has reported 160K barrels of oil and 1.99M mcf of gas since the record begins in January 1993, last reporting volume in December 2025. The lease carries 8 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

No coordinates on the permit record yet. The RRC's GIS record usually lands within days of issuance; historical master-file permits never carry one.

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