Climax #8L (API 42-009-40392) is a plugged well in Archer County, plugged May 9, 2017, last operated by Lmh Energy.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued December 18, 1990, permitted to 1,600 ft.
It was permitted by Landrum West, Inc. and has since transferred to Lmh Energy on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Thomas Sand, Gunsite Lime, Gunsite Broken Oil Sd..
Its lease has reported 127K barrels of oil and 21 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 60 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
