Cochran County · Levelland field · Vertical
Reed Wright B #8 (API 42-079-31066) is a plugged well in Cochran County, plugged September 28, 2006, last operated by Aviator Energy LLC.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued May 11, 1979, permitted to 5,000 ft.
It was permitted by United Company and has since transferred to Aviator Energy LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 1.57M barrels of oil and 667K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 50 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
