Rusk County · East Texas field · Water Supply · Vertical
Wheelis #1-S (API 42-401-30695) is a well in Rusk County operated by Linder John Operating CO. LLC, completed August 9, 1978 and listed as water supply on the RRC schedule, shut in February 1, 2026.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued April 14, 1978, permitted to 1,020 ft.
It was permitted by Cities Service Company and has since transferred to Linder John Operating CO. LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 143K barrels of oil and 71.3K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 5 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
