Bexar County · Somerset field · Vertical
James J. W. #8 (API 42-029-30753) is a well in Bexar County operated by Jamco Oil, completed December 5, 1978.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued September 26, 1978, permitted to 1,520 ft.
It was permitted by James, J. W. and has since transferred to Jamco Oil on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Olmos.
Its lease has reported 31.5K barrels of oil and 133 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 6 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
Permitted by James, J. W.; the EWA schedule now lists a different operator.
