Bishop - Biemer #8 (API 42-307-30888) is a well in Mcculloch County operated by Otex LLC, completed September 22, 1994 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued August 9, 1994, permitted to 1,100 ft.
It was permitted by Watson, B. G. Oil Field Salv Inc and has since transferred to Otex LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 6 formation tops, including Winchell Reef, Adams Branch Lime, Palo Pinto, Lower Dog Bend Lime.
Its lease has reported 66.8K barrels of oil and 235 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 7 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
