Smith Ella Unit 1 #8 (API 42-365-33847) is a well in Panola County operated by Tgnr East Texas LLC, completed March 27, 2001 and listed as temp abandoned on the RRC schedule, shut in February 1, 2012.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued December 17, 1997, permitted to 9,257 ft.
It was permitted by Union Pacific Resources Company and has since transferred to Tgnr East Texas LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 6 formation tops, including Paluxy, Glen Rose, T/Ma, Rodessa.
Its 2 leases have reported 1.05M mcf of gas since April 1998, with no volume in the three years through April 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

Surface location
No coordinates on the permit record yet. The RRC's GIS record usually lands within days of issuance; historical master-file permits never carry one.
Wells nearby
Every well with a location on file around this well, in any state, nearest first.
Texas locations come from drilling permits, so most older Texas wells have none and are not listed.
