Gould Lou #8 (API 42-383-34805) is a plugged well in Reagan County, plugged June 23, 2020, last operated by De IV Operating LLC.

The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued July 8, 1997, permitted to 7,600 ft.

It was permitted by Hallwood Petroleum, Inc. and has since transferred to De IV Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 7 formation tops, including Clear Fork, Srh Clearfork, U. Spraberry, L. Spraberry.

Its lease has reported 77.7K barrels of oil and 316K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in August 2024. The lease carries 5 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
