Second Bywaters #281
Wichita County · Wichita County (Special) field · Shut IN · Vertical
Second Bywaters #281 (API 42-485-44843) is a well in Wichita County operated by Waggoner Operating L.L.C., completed May 2, 2018 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 2010 and 2018, permitted to 2,400 ft.
It was permitted by Layline Energy I LLC and has since transferred to Waggoner Operating L.L.C. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Cisco.
Its 2 leases have reported 1.51M barrels of oil and 346K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 185 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
