Upton County · Spraberry (Trend Area) field · Producing · Vertical
Connell Est. A #8 (API 42-461-35418) is a well in Upton County operated by Prime Operating Company, completed September 15, 2007 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued July 17, 2007, permitted to 10,000 ft.
It was permitted by Mariner Energy, Inc. and has since transferred to Prime Operating Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including Spraberry, Lower Sprberry, Dean, Wolfcamp.
Its lease has reported 495K barrels of oil and 978K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 17 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

Well logs
1 log loaded from the RRC's log index, the latest received Oct 23, 2008. Neutron. These are the logs loaded into Petrora from the Railroad Commission's inventories, not necessarily every log run on the well. The RRC holds the files; each opens from its log search for the well. The kind is the RRC's description of the log; the interval is the one filed for it.

"Spans" is by this well's own filed formation tops: a formation runs from its top to the next deeper top filed, and the deepest runs to the bottom of the log. Depths are measured along the wellbore, so on a horizontal the lateral counts in the formation it was landed in.
