Wichita County · Wichita County Regular field · Shut In · Vertical
Owens M. J. #78A (API 42-485-41792) is a well in Wichita County operated by Waggoner Operating L.L.C., completed November 18, 1988 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule, shut in January 1, 1998.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued October 27, 1988, permitted to 1,750 ft.
It was permitted by Atapco and has since transferred to Waggoner Operating L.L.C. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including 750' Sand, 1300' Sand, Gunsight.
Its lease has reported 18.3K barrels of oil and 19 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 10 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
