Davis #8 (API 42-219-34586) is a well in Hockley County operated by Beach Exploration Inc., completed December 30, 1985 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued November 20, 1984, permitted to 10,300 ft.
It was permitted by Texas American Oil Corp. and has since transferred to Beach Exploration Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including San Andres, Glorieta, Clear Fork, Dean.
Its lease has reported 301K barrels of oil and 22.6K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 6 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
It holds an active disposal or injection permit.
