Franklin O. B. #8 (API 42-169-33546) is a well in Garza County operated by Viejo Oil & Gas LLC, completed October 11, 2000 and listed as injection on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued September 23, 1999, permitted to 4,000 ft.
It was permitted by Stelzer Drilling CO. Inc. and has since transferred to Viejo Oil & Gas LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Santa Rosa.
Its lease has reported 397K barrels of oil and 20 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 9 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
It holds an active disposal or injection permit, with 83.9K barrels injected in the 12 months reported through May 2026.
