Applewhite Sam #8
Bexar County · Somerset field · Vertical
Applewhite Sam #8 (API 42-029-37629) is a well in Bexar County operated by Brander Sam H., completed September 5, 1986.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued August 21, 1986, permitted to 1,700 ft.
It was permitted by Hillside Equities, Inc. and has since transferred to Brander Sam H. on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 10.6K barrels of oil and 147 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 54 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
