Wichita County · Wichita County Regular field · Vertical
Sheldon #6 (API 42-485-40771) is a plugged well in Wichita County, plugged April 6, 2005, last operated by H & W Oil.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued November 15, 1985, permitted to 2,000 ft.
It was permitted by Schalk, Thomas S. and has since transferred to H & W Oil on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Cisco.
Its lease has reported 4.28K barrels of oil and 71 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in March 2008. The lease carries 6 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
Permitted by Schalk, Thomas S.; the EWA schedule now lists a different operator.
