Second Bywaters #231
Wichita County · Wichita County Regular field · Shut In · Vertical
Second Bywaters #231 (API 42-485-39971) is a well in Wichita County operated by Waggoner Operating L.L.C., completed May 2, 1985 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule, shut in January 1, 1998.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits in 1984, permitted to 3,300 ft.
It was permitted by Texaco Inc. and has since transferred to Waggoner Operating L.L.C. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Cisco.
Its lease has reported 1.34M barrels of oil and 221K mcf of gas since the record begins in January 1993, last reporting volume in August 2026. The lease carries 156 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

No coordinates on the permit record yet. The RRC's GIS record usually lands within days of issuance; historical master-file permits never carry one.

Every well with a location on file around this well, in any state, nearest first.
Texas locations come from drilling permits, so most older Texas wells have none and are not listed.
