Horton Ballard #8 (API 42-311-32388) is a well in Mcmullen County operated by Gtg Operating LLC, completed December 31, 1985 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued October 29, 1985, permitted to 9,900 ft.
It was permitted by Pentad Development Corp. (A) and has since transferred to Gtg Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 433K barrels of oil and 480K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 9 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
