Davidson 26 #8 (API 42-329-38896) is a well in Midland County operated by Ovintiv USA Inc., completed January 8, 2019 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued October 3, 2013, permitted to 11,400 ft.
It was permitted by Athlon Energy Operating LLC and has since transferred to Ovintiv USA Inc. on the wellbore schedule.

Its lease has reported 147K barrels of oil and 297K mcf of gas since November 1996, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 5 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
