Russell R. F. -B- #8 (API 42-401-31086) is a well in Rusk County operated by Adamson Exploration CO., completed June 16, 1981 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued January 22, 1981, permitted to 3,970 ft.
It was permitted by Amoco Production Company and has since transferred to Adamson Exploration CO. on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 74.6K barrels of oil and 6.1K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 7 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
