McGill Bros. NCT-1 #8
Brooks County · Kelsey Deep (Zone 18) field · Vertical
Mcgill Bros. Nct-1 #8 (API 42-047-00893) is a plugged well in Brooks County, plugged March 28, 1994, last operated by Texaco E & P Inc..
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued January 13, 1978, permitted to 6,745 ft.
It was permitted by Texaco Inc. and has since transferred to Texaco E & P Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 23 barrels of oil and 1 mcf of gas since January 1993, with no volume in the three years through April 2026. The lease carries 12 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
