The 25 highest-producing oil units in Wichita County, Texas, ranked by Feb 2026 monthly oil production. Two-operator dominance — R2Q Operating + DARA Operating Company hold 18 of 25.
Get Your Free Mineral ValuationWichita County’s top 25 producing units combine for approximately 20,000 barrels per month of oil as of February 2026. That places Wichita squarely in the middle tier of north Texas / Bend Arch counties: above ultra-stripper Eastland County (~4,000 bbl/mo top 25) but below Caddo-anchored Stephens County (~70,000 bbl/mo top 25).
The defining feature of the Wichita County list is two-operator dominance. R2Q Operating holds 6 of the top 8 units (the modern KMA Field consolidator). DARA Operating Company holds 7 of the top 13 units (the legacy Electra-Burkburnett trend). Together they represent 18 of the top 25, including 11 of the top 13.
For mineral owners: if your interest is in Wichita County, there’s a high probability your operator is either R2Q or DARA — both stable, well-tenured, and operationally active. Together they form one of the cleanest operator profiles of any north Texas county Buckhead Energy tracks.

Source: TX Railroad Commission lease production filings, February 2026 reporting period. "Wichita County Regular" is the RRC catch-all field code for legacy Electra-Burkburnett trend production not assigned to a named field.
R2Q Operating holds 6 of the top 8 units — Mangold KMA Waterflood (#1), Sauder "A" (#3), Kempner (#4), Bradley Ranch -A- (#5), Lowry J H -A- (#6), J&J Waggoner #1 (#8). All target the KMA / KMA Lime pay zone.
DARA Operating Company holds 7 of the top 13 units — S.M.A. Unit -B- (#2), Second Bywaters (#7), Stringer J.W. (#9), Allen (#10), Bywaters (#11), Honaker (#12), Reilly (#13), plus Reilly NCT-2 (#18). All operate under the Wichita County Regular field designation, anchoring the legacy Electra-Burkburnett trend.
Three modern (2024-2025) directional wells appear on the top-producer list: Potts Two 9 (Quatro), Waggoner Rough Creek 8 (Newport), Waggoner W.T. -A- NCT-3 833 (Newport) — a quiet signal that operator interest is shifting back toward Wichita County after years of dormancy on the non-KMA portion of the county.
Historic 1912-1918 leases still produce. Second Bywaters (1912!), Stringer (1918), First National (1938), Reilly (1939) — these are some of the longest continuously-producing leases in Texas oil history.
KMA Field name = Kemp + Munger + Allen — the three founders of the original early-20th-century field discovery. The modern revival is operationally distinct from the historic field.
