Wheeler County · Stiles Ranch (Granite Wash Cons) field · Vertical
Stiles 18 #4 (API 42-483-30602) is a plugged well in Wheeler County, plugged February 22, 2022, last operated by Formentera Operations LLC.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued November 3, 1978, permitted to 17,400 ft.
It was permitted by Apache Corporation and has since transferred to Formentera Operations LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 6 formation tops, including Douglas, Hogshooter, Checkerboard, Granite Wash.
Its 2 leases have reported 11.3K barrels of oil and 400K mcf of gas since January 1993, with no volume in the three years through April 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
Permitted by Apache Corporation; the EWA schedule now lists a different operator.
