ED Books 25 #8 (API 42-173-37095) is a well in Glasscock County operated by Ovintiv USA Inc., completed April 21, 2015 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued January 8, 2015, permitted to 10,000 ft.
It was permitted by Athlon Holdings LP and has since transferred to Ovintiv USA Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 10 formation tops, including Yates, San Andres, Clear Fork, Spraberry.
Its lease has reported 132K barrels of oil and 573K mcf of gas since January 2011, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 8 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
