Midland County · Spraberry (Trend Area) field · Shut IN  · Horizontal

Davidson 23b #8HF (API 42-329-42826) is a horizontal well in Midland County operated by Ovintiv USA Inc., completed February 22, 2019 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule.

The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended twice), issued September 10, 2018, permitted to 10,300 ft.

It was permitted by Encana Oil & Gas(USA) Inc. and has since transferred to Ovintiv USA Inc. on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 9 formation tops, including Yates, San Andres, Glorieta, Clear Fork.

Its lease has reported 681K barrels of oil and 5.02M mcf of gas since February 2019, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

The sources disagree, which usually means a transfer or a lease-level production filing by a different entity. Petrora goes with the schedule.
