Koenig Merl D. #8 (API 42-417-37481) is a plugged well in Shackelford County, plugged October 9, 2020, last operated by Prickly Pair Production.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued February 21, 1991, permitted to 900 ft.
It was permitted by Edington Oil Company and has since transferred to Prickly Pair Production on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including Camp Colorado Ls., Frye Sd, Lower Frye Sds, Stock Wether Ls.
Its lease has reported 34.8K barrels of oil and 118 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 11 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
