King County · Tumbleweed (Lower Tannehill) field · NO Production · Vertical
Tumbleweed Foster Unit #8 (API 42-269-31616) is a well in King County operated by Ridglea Energy I LLC, completed May 5, 1989 and listed as no production on the RRC schedule, shut in March 1, 2020.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued May 23, 1986, permitted to 3,980 ft.
It was permitted by Sun Expl. & Prod. CO.-Abilene and has since transferred to Ridglea Energy I LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 2 formation tops, including Stockwether, T. Tannehill Lime.
Its lease has reported 257K barrels of oil and 2.1K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 10 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
