Viles W. W. #159
Wichita County · Wichita County Regular field · Shut IN · Vertical
Viles W. W. #159 (API 42-485-44867) is a well in Wichita County operated by Waggoner Operating L.L.C., completed May 20, 2010 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued March 18, 2010, permitted to 2,000 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 126K barrels of oil and 19 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 25 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
