Wilbarger County · Wilbarger County (Special) field · Vertical
Piper W.R. #79 (API 42-487-31835) is a plugged well in Wilbarger County, plugged April 24, 2018, last operated by Waggoner Operating L.L.C..
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued November 30, 1984, permitted to 2,100 ft.
It was permitted by Mobil Producing TX. & N.M. Inc. and has since transferred to Waggoner Operating L.L.C. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 2 formation tops, including Coleman Junction, Megargle Limestone.
Its lease has reported 677K barrels of oil and 335K mcf of gas since the record begins in January 1993, last reporting volume in August 2026. The lease carries 87 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.
