De Witt County · Eagleville (Eagle Ford-2) field · Producing · Horizontal
E. Butler A #8H (API 42-123-33538) is a horizontal well in De Witt County operated by Bpx Operating Company, completed October 27, 2019 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued April 17, 2014, permitted to 13,300 ft.
It was permitted by Bhp Billiton Pet(Txla OP) CO and has since transferred to Bpx Operating Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 9 formation tops, including Catahoula, Frio, Vicksburg, Yegua.
Its lease has reported 2.67M barrels of oil and 12.3M mcf of gas since January 2013, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 13 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
