Riddle E. #8
Caldwell County · Buchanan field · NO Production · Vertical
Riddle E. #8 (API 42-055-33665) is a well in Caldwell County operated by Centex Pipe & Equipment Inc., completed August 13, 1985 and listed as no production on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued September 10, 1984, permitted to 2,600 ft.
It was permitted by Lockhart Oil & Gas and has since transferred to Centex Pipe & Equipment Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including Taylor, Austin Chalk, Eagle Ford, Buda.
Its lease has reported 17.6K barrels of oil and 37.2K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 8 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
