Bexar County · Somerset field · Producing · Vertical
Abukhurma Adel #8 (API 42-029-30607) is a well in Bexar County operated by Drachen Energy CO., completed December 6, 1977 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued November 10, 1977, permitted to 1,725 ft.
It was permitted by Schimmel, V. I. and has since transferred to Drachen Energy CO. on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 44.1K barrels of oil and 21 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 24 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
Permitted by Schimmel, V. I.; the EWA schedule now lists a different operator.
