Simpson V. P. #8 (API 42-133-34270) is a plugged well in Eastland County, plugged December 27, 2001, last operated by King Energy Resources.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued September 16, 1982, permitted to 1,350 ft.
It was permitted by Mercury Exploration CO. and has since transferred to King Energy Resources on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Crosscut Sand.
Its lease has reported 49.1K barrels of oil and 21 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 22 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
