Bywaters B. A. #168 (API 42-485-42581) is a plugged well in Wichita County, plugged October 23, 2006, last operated by Waggoner Operating L.L.C..
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued April 22, 1992, permitted to 2,000 ft.
It was permitted by Coda Energy, Inc. and has since transferred to Waggoner Operating L.L.C. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 2 formation tops, including Megargel Lime, Gunsight.
Its lease has reported 1.17M barrels of oil and 222K mcf of gas since the record begins in January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 139 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.
