Donovan G. N. #8 (API 42-329-38553) is a well in Midland County operated by Pioneer Natural Res. USA Inc., completed December 18, 2025 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended 3 times), issued March 8, 2013, permitted to 12,000 ft.
It was permitted by Legacy Reserves Operating LP and has since transferred to Pioneer Natural Res. USA Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 7 formation tops, including Clear Fork, Spraberry, Dean, Wolfcamp.
Its lease has reported 353K barrels of oil and 1.14M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 8 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
