Clopton #8 (API 42-165-37407) is a well in Gaines County operated by Petex, completed July 29, 2011 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued June 1, 2011, permitted to 5,300 ft.
It was permitted by Breck Operating Corp. and has since transferred to Petex on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Yates, Queen, San Andres.
Its lease has reported 311K barrels of oil since September 2001, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 10 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
