Wilson A #8 (API 42-009-40452) is a well in Archer County operated by Akins Oil Company, completed May 10, 1993 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued April 5, 1991, permitted to 1,800 ft.
It was permitted by Turnbow Drilling CO. and has since transferred to Akins Oil Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Lime, Shale, Gunsight.
Its lease has reported 220K barrels of oil and 143 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 17 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
