Wichita County · Wichita County Regular field · Producing · Vertical
Sheldon #1 (API 42-485-43972) is a well in Wichita County operated by Newport Operating LLC, completed September 19, 2005 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule, shut in August 1, 2026.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued January 19, 2005, permitted to 2,170 ft.
It was permitted by Hood, J. Frank, JR. and has since transferred to Newport Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Thomas Sand, Megargel, Gunsight.
Its lease has reported 14.1K barrels of oil since September 2005, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 10 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

Well logs
1 log loaded from the RRC's log index, the latest received Oct 17, 2008. Resistivity. These are the logs loaded into Petrora from the Railroad Commission's inventories, not necessarily every log run on the well. The RRC holds the files; each opens from its log search for the well. The kind is the RRC's description of the log; the interval is the one filed for it.

"Spans" is by this well's own filed formation tops: a formation runs from its top to the next deeper top filed, and the deepest runs to the bottom of the log. Depths are measured along the wellbore, so on a horizontal the lateral counts in the formation it was landed in.
