Carter Lester A #8 (API 42-237-38878) is a well in Jack County operated by Silver Creek Oil & Gas LLC, completed October 10, 2005.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits (amended twice) between 2005 and 2012, permitted to 4,750 ft.
It was permitted by Silver Creek Resources, LLC and has since transferred to Silver Creek Oil & Gas LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 10 formation tops, including Palo Pinto, Village Bend, Bryson, Caddo.
Its 2 leases have reported 58.4K barrels of oil and 88.7K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
