Winkler County · Wheeler (Devonian) field · Producing · Vertical
Wheeler A.E. #4 (API 42-495-02745) is a well in Winkler County operated by Petex, completed July 1, 1981 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued July 29, 1981, permitted to 8,590 ft.
It was permitted by Sun Expl. & Prod. CO.-Midland and has since transferred to Petex on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 86.5K barrels of oil and 471K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
