Helen Crump B #8 (API 42-135-40737) is a well in Ector County operated by Diamondback E&P LLC, completed August 28, 2012 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule, shut in January 1, 2025.

The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued February 10, 2011, permitted to 10,155 ft.

It was permitted by Devon Energy Production CO, L.P. and has since transferred to Diamondback E&P LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 2 formation tops, including Spraberry, Wolfcamp.

Its lease has reported 1M barrels of oil and 4.09M mcf of gas since December 2009, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 8 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.
