White Fred #8 (API 42-049-35017) is a plugged well in Brown County, plugged December 23, 1999, last operated by Shady Oil CO..
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued June 15, 1988, permitted to 1,300 ft.
It was permitted by Denhart & Davis and has since transferred to Shady Oil CO. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Fry Sand.
Its lease has reported 6.78K barrels of oil and 248 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.
