Thurston #8 (API 42-415-31779) is a well in Scurry County operated by Atlas Operating LLC, completed December 4, 2023 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued December 9, 1980, permitted to 3,500 ft.
It was permitted by Monsanto Company and has since transferred to Atlas Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including San Andres, Glorieta, Clear Fork.
Its lease has reported 143K barrels of oil and 735 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 9 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
