Branex/American #8 (API 42-165-34534) is a well in Gaines County operated by Texland Petroleum L.P., completed September 18, 2003 and listed as injection on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued November 30, 1992, permitted to 7,700 ft.
It was permitted by Primero Operating, Inc. and has since transferred to Texland Petroleum L.P. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 6 formation tops, including Rustler, Yates, Queen, San Andres.
Its lease has reported 5.54M barrels of oil and 669K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 27 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
It holds an active disposal or injection permit, with 114K barrels injected in the 12 months reported through October 2025.
