Crews-Mast 8b #1 (API 42-003-32804) is a well in Andrews County operated by Vin Fisher Operating Inc., completed August 10, 1981 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule, shut in May 1, 2025.

The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1981 and 2015, permitted to 4,818 ft.

It was permitted by Ring Energy, Inc. and has since transferred to Vin Fisher Operating Inc. on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Queen, Grayburg, San Andres.

Its 2 leases have reported 38.9K barrels of oil and 12.4K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

The sources disagree, which usually means a transfer or a lease-level production filing by a different entity. Petrora goes with the schedule.
