Mcelroy Ranch CO. G #8 (API 42-103-30807) is a plugged well in Crane County, plugged February 20, 1996, last operated by Diamondback E&P LLC.

The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued March 16, 1988, permitted to 12,300 ft.

It was permitted by Chevron U. S. A. Inc. and has since transferred to Diamondback E&P LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including Devonian, Silurian (undifferentiated), Connell, Ellen.

Its lease has reported 286K barrels of oil and 806K 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.

The sources disagree, which usually means a transfer or a lease-level production filing by a different entity. Petrora goes with the schedule.
