Midland County · Spraberry (Trend Area) field · Shut In · Vertical
R.A.B. Davidson A #8 (API 42-329-35949) is a well in Midland County operated by Ovintiv USA Inc., completed December 6, 2008 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule, shut in April 1, 2024.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued July 8, 2008, permitted to 10,055 ft.
It was permitted by Forest Oil Corporation and has since transferred to Ovintiv USA Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 7 formation tops, including Rustler, Yates, Grayburg, Clear Fork.
Its 2 leases have reported 384K barrels of oil and 916K mcf of gas since May 1996, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 12 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
