East River Unit #8 (API 42-433-32303) is a plugged well in Stonewall County, plugged June 24, 2009, last operated by Kinder Morgan Production CO LLC.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued November 4, 1987, permitted to 5,200 ft.
It was permitted by Standard Oil Production Company and has since transferred to Kinder Morgan Production CO LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Strawn.
Its lease has reported 1.27M barrels of oil and 47.7K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in February 2010. The lease carries 44 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
