Atascosa County · Somerset field · Producing · Vertical
Bush E.M. -A- #8 (API 42-013-31236) is a well in Atascosa County operated by Petro Lions LLC, completed October 1, 1985 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued March 23, 1981, permitted to 1,655 ft.
It was permitted by Texas American Oil Corp. and has since transferred to Petro Lions LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 55.7K barrels of oil and 22 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in March 2026. The lease carries 19 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
