Bywaters B. A. #184 (API 42-485-42879) is a well in Wichita County operated by Waggoner Operating L.L.C., completed February 10, 1994 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued October 27, 1993, permitted to 2,050 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.
