Stiles 18 #2018
Wheeler County · Stiles Ranch (Granite Wash Cons) field · Temp Abandoned · Vertical
Stiles 18 #2018 (API 42-483-31836) is a well in Wheeler County operated by Formentera Operations LLC, completed November 12, 2005 and listed as temp abandoned on the RRC schedule, shut in April 1, 2014.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 2005 and 2007, permitted to 16,600 ft.
It was permitted by Apache Corporation and has since transferred to Formentera Operations LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 5 formation tops, including Upper Caldwell, Caldwell, Cherokee, Granite Wash.
Its 2 leases have reported 19.2K barrels of oil and 1.28M mcf of gas since November 2005, with no volume in the three years through August 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

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

Well logs
1 log loaded from the RRC's log index, the latest received Oct 22, 2008. Density, Neutron. These are the logs loaded into Petrora from the Railroad Commission's inventories, not necessarily every log run on the well. The RRC holds the files; each opens from its log search for the well. The kind is the RRC's description of the log; the interval is the one filed for it.

"Spans" is by this well's own filed formation tops: a formation runs from its top to the next deeper top filed, and the deepest runs to the bottom of the log. Depths are measured along the wellbore, so on a horizontal the lateral counts in the formation it was landed in.
