Winkler County · Wheeler (Devonian) field · Vertical
Wheeler C. O. #1 (API 42-495-05738) is a plugged well in Winkler County, plugged January 19, 2004, last operated by Formentera Operations LLC.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued November 8, 1979, permitted to 10,680 ft.
It was permitted by Getty Oil CO. and has since transferred to Formentera Operations LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Devonian, Silurian (undifferentiated), Ellenburger.
Its lease has reported 107K barrels of oil and 830K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
