Jones John G. 817 #8 (API 42-307-30405) is a plugged well in Mcculloch County, plugged March 25, 2009, last operated by R & D Operating Inc..
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued October 28, 1977, permitted to 1,000 ft.
It was permitted by Ellis & Young and has since transferred to R & D Operating Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 460 barrels of oil and 33.4K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in June 2011. The leases carry 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
