Ranch Hand 8 #2H (API 42-105-38523) is a plugged horizontal well in Crockett County, plugged April 30, 2015, last operated by Oxy USA Inc..
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 2001 and 2002, permitted to 9,300 ft.
It was permitted by Pogo Producing CO. and has since transferred to Oxy USA Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 5 formation tops, including Yates, U Spraberry, L Spraberry, Wolfcamp.
Its lease has reported 49.2K barrels of oil and 2.76M mcf of gas since May 2000, with no volume in the three years through April 2026. The lease carries 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
