Liberty County · Liberty South field · Shut In · Vertical
Mitchell Leon #8 (API 42-291-03318) is a well in Liberty County operated by HD Operating CO LLC, completed August 23, 1995 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule, shut in February 1, 2019.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued March 16, 1995, permitted to 5,800 ft.
It was permitted by Grimes Energy Company and has since transferred to HD Operating CO LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Yegua.
Its lease has reported 186K barrels of oil and 200K 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.
