Sau 8 #4 (API 42-383-33996) is a well in Reagan County operated by Apache Corporation, completed March 19, 1990 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule, shut in August 1, 2019.

The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued January 26, 1990, permitted to 8,105 ft.

It was permitted by Mariner Energy, Inc. and has since transferred to Apache Corporation on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 2 formation tops, including Spraberry, Dean.

Its lease has reported 765K barrels of oil and 5.07M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in June 2023. The lease carries 23 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
