Pirkle L. H. #8 (API 42-365-33229) is a well in Panola County operated by Xto Energy Inc., completed February 5, 1996 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued September 12, 1995, permitted to 9,400 ft.
It was permitted by Exxon Corp. and has since transferred to Xto Energy Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 5 formation tops, including James Lime, Pine Island, Pettit, Travis Peak.
Its 3 leases have reported 5.75K barrels of oil and 1.99M mcf of gas since February 1996, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
