Pipkin S. W. #8 (API 42-071-31703) is a plugged well in Chambers County, plugged June 10, 1999, last operated by Kerr-Mcgee Corporation.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued May 2, 1985, permitted to 9,000 ft.
It was permitted by Sun Expl. & Prod. CO.-Lafayette and has since transferred to Kerr-Mcgee Corporation on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 5.46K barrels of oil and 7.9K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in August 1999. The lease carries 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
