Shut in

Wichita County · Wichita County (Special) field · Shut In · Vertical

Bywaters B. A. #224 (API 42-485-44314) is a well in Wichita County operated by Waggoner Operating L.L.C., completed January 2, 2008 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule, shut in July 1, 2026.

The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued November 14, 2007, permitted to 2,205 ft.

It was permitted by WG Operating, Inc. and has since transferred to Waggoner Operating L.L.C. on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report one formation top, including Cisco.

Its lease has reported 1.17M barrels of oil and 222K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 139 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

Well logs

1 log loaded from the RRC's log index, the latest received Sep 5, 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.
