Skaggs 8 #3 (API 42-461-31700) is a plugged well in Upton County, plugged August 29, 2024, last operated by Pioneer Natural Res. USA Inc..
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued December 10, 1980, permitted to 9,800 ft.
It was permitted by Saxon Oil Company and has since transferred to Pioneer Natural Res. USA Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 723K barrels of oil and 3.31M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 12 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
