Wheeler County · Stiles Ranch (Granite Wash Cons) field · Producing · Vertical
Stiles 68 #5068 (API 42-483-31968) is a well in Wheeler County operated by Formentera Operations LLC, completed March 2, 2006 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued October 21, 2005, permitted to 15,250 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 U. Caldwell, Caldwell, Cherokee, Granite Wash.
Its 2 leases have reported 23.9K barrels of oil and 1.17M mcf of gas since February 2006, last reporting volume in April 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

Well logs
1 log loaded from the RRC's log index, the latest received Dec 23, 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.
