Wheeler County · Panhandle Wheeler County Field field · Shut IN · Vertical
Rice #15 (API 42-483-30694) is a well in Wheeler County operated by Kimbrel Oil Corporation, completed December 27, 1979 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued October 16, 1979, permitted to 2,300 ft.
It was permitted by Dilley Production CO. and has since transferred to Kimbrel Oil Corporation on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 1.55K barrels of oil and 33.9K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 17 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
