Ward J. M. -C- #178W (API 42-429-34061) is a well in Stephens County operated by Basa Resources Inc., completed December 16, 1988 and listed as injection on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued April 3, 1984, permitted to 3,300 ft.
It was permitted by Sun Expl. & Prod. CO.-Abilene and has since transferred to Basa Resources Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Strawn, Capps, Caddo.
Its lease has reported 3.8M barrels of oil and 521K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 172 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
It holds an active disposal or injection permit, with 115K barrels injected in the 12 months reported through May 2026.
