Bendele E.E. #8 (API 42-325-33560) is a plugged well in Medina County, plugged May 24, 2000, last operated by Doyal Melvin Baxter.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued May 19, 1992, permitted to 1,000 ft.
It was permitted by Dorris Horizontal Oil & Gas Inc and has since transferred to Doyal Melvin Baxter on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 2 formation tops, including Escondido, Olmos.
Its lease has reported 734 barrels of oil and 22 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in August 2003. The lease carries 9 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
