Vickery Artie #8 (API 42-055-34372) is a well in Caldwell County operated by Viva Petrol LLP, completed June 13, 1988 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued May 27, 1988, permitted to 2,700 ft.
It was permitted by Nelms Bros. Oil Properties Inc. and has since transferred to Viva Petrol LLP on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Dale Lime, Serpentine, Basalt.
Its lease has reported 31.2K barrels of oil and 16 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 9 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
