Howard County · Iatan East Howard field · Vertical
Davis John W. #8 (API 42-227-31743) is a plugged well in Howard County, plugged November 18, 1998, last operated by Basa Resources Inc..
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued January 16, 1979, permitted to 3,000 ft.
It was permitted by Amoco Production Company and has since transferred to Basa Resources Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 239K barrels of oil and 216K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 10 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
