Gray County · Panhandle Gray County Field field · Vertical
East Pampa Unit #8 (API 42-179-31420) is a plugged well in Gray County, plugged August 25, 2023, last operated by Bce-Mach Iii LLC.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued July 26, 1983, permitted to 3,350 ft.
It was permitted by Arco Oil & Gas CO. and has since transferred to Bce-Mach Iii LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Wellington Anhydrite, Panhandle Limestone, Brown Dolomite.
Its lease has reported 54.8K barrels of oil and 279 mcf of gas since January 1993, with no volume in the three years through April 2026. The lease carries 78 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
