Hicks O.B. Gas Unit #8
Panola County · Carthage (Travis Peak-Collins) field · Temp Abandoned · Vertical
Hicks O.B. Gas Unit #8 (API 42-365-32253) is a well in Panola County operated by Mmgl East Texas Iii LLC, completed October 8, 1990 and listed as temp abandoned on the RRC schedule, shut in November 1, 2024.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued January 15, 1990, permitted to 9,700 ft.
It was permitted by Arco Oil & Gas CO. and has since transferred to Mmgl East Texas Iii LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 6 formation tops, including Glen Rose, Rodessa, Pettit, Travis Peak.
Its 2 leases have reported 24.7K barrels of oil and 2.43M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in October 2024. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
