Van Zandt County · Van (Pecan Gap) field · Producing · Vertical
Blake Ruth Starr #8 (API 42-467-31090) is a well in Van Zandt County operated by Chanze Oil CO. Inc., completed October 1, 2006 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued June 28, 2006, permitted to 2,000 ft.
It was permitted by Cameron, Paul E., JR., Inc. and has since transferred to Chanze Oil CO. Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Pecan Gap.
Its lease has reported 86.5K barrels of oil and 34K mcf of gas since August 2001, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 6 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
