Stephens J. B. DR. #8 (API 42-049-34293) is a well in Brown County operated by Big Iron Excavation L.L.C., completed June 18, 2003.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued March 11, 1985, permitted to 2,000 ft.
It was permitted by Penn, C. J. Truck Service, Inc. and has since transferred to Big Iron Excavation L.L.C. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 2 formation tops, including Adams Branch, Caddo.
Its 2 leases have reported 14.6K barrels of oil and 2.17K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 13 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
