Garza County · Dorward field · Producing · Vertical
Dorward J. C. #8 (API 42-169-01174) is a well in Garza County operated by Unitex Oil & Gas L.L.C., completed December 12, 1979 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued November 14, 1979, permitted to 2,517 ft.
It was permitted by Exxon Corp. and has since transferred to Unitex Oil & Gas L.L.C. on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 68.2K barrels of oil and 20K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 8 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
