Bexar County · Fairfield field · Vertical
Price L. J. #8 (API 42-029-30868) is a plugged well in Bexar County, plugged May 21, 1999, last operated by More Texas Oil.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued September 12, 1979, permitted to 1,250 ft.
It was permitted by Huster, Frank R. JR. and has since transferred to More Texas Oil on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 330 barrels of oil and 27 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in June 2000. The lease carries 5 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
Permitted by Huster, Frank R. Jr.; the EWA schedule now lists a different operator.
